pleasantries aside
they don't talk to each other
much too sensitive

pc minds are bound
church and state touch ev'rything
best they hold their tongues

no stuttering truth
no juggling words that might hurt
no awkward pauses

small talk and gossip
nothing of human in'trest
pleasantries prevail

sometimes keeping simple works the best, in the long run if it is going to work they get pass the pleasantries when they find something that interest the two.
Enjoy reading the straight foward simplicity of this write.
