Taking Our Marriage’s Temperature

Taking Our Marriage’s Temperature
By Madeleine Begun Kane

My husband and I can agree
On most everything—“a” straight through “z”.
But as husband and wife
We suffer much strife
Over temp settings—heat and AC.

(We argue over our TV’s remote control too, but it refuses to rhyme.)

As if part of an ongoing story
They named their stick “The Power and Glory”
‘Cause the fights that ensued
Went beyond mean and rude
To the stage called “Remote Control Gory”

My wife and I argue over the correct terminology for adjusting the thermostat. For me, turning the Air Conditioner up means lowering the temperature setting on the dial to make the house colder. For my wife, turning the AC up means raising the temperature setting on the dial, thus making the house warmer.

Paul, your limericks are always welcome!

Chris, I’ve always found that terminology to be ambiguous.
