Ice-Cube Boy and Fire Girl both fell in love at school.
Ice-Cube Boy thought she was hot,
and she thought he was cool.
But when they tried to hug and kiss
her flame went “fizzle!”, “pop!” and “hiss!”
and Ice-Cube Boy was turned to steam,
evaporating with a scream.
Their parents cried “Our son!”, “Our daughter!”
“Nothing more than smoke and water,
Now it’s clear, it’s just a fact
that opposites should not attract!”
