The Long & The Short

Odd Couple

She's very tall
He's very small

They don't seem to fit
Together at all

Her - head in the clouds
Him - feet on the ground

Her - noisy and brash
Him - not making a sound

But some strange things
Are not what they seem

Opposites attract
They work as a team

Though she's very tall
And he's very small

And they don't seem to fit
Together, at all!
