Ha ha ha. I think it could be. You shouldn't try not to avoid and fight for your rights.

five stars. Switch to cold cuts, cold ones. Cold cuts: 'Sliced assorted cold meats.' OR cook all the fish to be tender (no crispness achieved) , then serve the wife and continue cooking yours till crispy. Solution! ! !

'Together we'll experiment, and hopefully, we'll find, ...' I'd delete ', ' after 'hopefully' or keep it and add ', ' in front of 'hopefully', OR I'd delete all commas in the line!

At end of 'sentence' 4, I say 'delete' the word 'too'. I think that is much better even though you will lose a rhyme! ;)

'So, we stuck a deal' I believe you want to type 'struck a deal'. 'The meaning of STRIKE A DEAL is to come to an agreement.' : ) Good for you two.

'bone of contention': 'Main issue of a disagreement; something to quarrel about......This expression alludes to two dogs fighting (contending) over a single bone.'

A fish bone of contention. CONTENTION (one definition) : 'The act or an instance of striving in controversy or debate. synonym: conflict.'

That's what love is all about, but remember, it's better to eat the fish than be eaten by one!

A beautiful and meaningful poem that shows the intricacies of married life. Despite of differences in food and other things, the respect and love for each other are always there.

As soon as you become husband and wife these things comes up and bone of contention can be any silly thing.
