Julia and Sam
Julia abused alcohol
Sam abused money
Julia had a family fortune
Sam had neither
Julia worked with old people
Sam was old and did not work
Julia was serious about everything
Sam was lackadaisical, brilliant, and goofy
Julia was compassionate
Sam was passive-aggressive
Julia liked to sing
Sam liked to dance
Although it appeared at the outset
That the relationship wouldn't last
Julia loved Sam
Sam loved Julia
And that was that
