Poles Apart., A poetic Interpretation Options

[Rhymer]

Poles Apart.

I’m positive I met a man the other day,
One clearly negative in every way.
As I could tell right from the start.
The two of us were really poles apart.

When first we connected via the Internet,
I cabled him to visit and so we met,
It proved to be a really poor connection,
For sparks flew in every known direction!

With my every argument negated
He failed to be positively motivated
I immediately fulminated! Blew a fuse!
That brought short his verbal abuse,

As this activated an under current
Which alternated with a direct deterrent,
I switched tactics to plug his flow;
Transformed his power trip from fast to slow

Being shocked by his constant negativity
With every reasoned argument of relativity
Wasted, I tried to ensure I was insulated,
Taking the line he was not positively motivated.

Since having conducted an ‘on-line’ survey
Of how matters came to be this way,
It was found contradictory polarity
Provided grounds to arrive at our disparity

As we’d broken our recent live connection
I wired him with a suggested positive correction.
That should he remain so negatively down to earth?
In Life, I’m positive, he’d generate little worth.

Truth to tell Sylvia, he turned out to be an absolute bounder. His wife - Lord only knows why she'd married him? - was a darling. He treated Her - Jean - like dirt! She deserved far better. I am one who "sees" or senses an aura when I meet people, but on this occasion I chose to ignore it. Foolish me! My hair was electrified and sparked for ages after meeting him a couple times - hence the poem, which I thought appropriate to describe my feelings and the highly tense atmosphere that enveloped me at the time. He left shortly afterwards - thank goodness. Later he Was replaced by one almost as bad! Such was the reward for my sins! Lol! Humour has always been a strong support for me through the years, and without it today, with my darling wife suffering the first signs of dementia, it is a crutch that is most needed by me. Stay safe and make the most of every day. They are finite! Fondest regards Denis. PS: Going to see what I can do with your 'words' - after breakfast. Ciao Denis.
