Fire and Ice,
Temperatures both considered nice.
But are they?

Two lovers that can never meet,
For if they would fire should cool and ice would produce heat.

Or are they like two kingdoms equal to one another,
Two elements that cannot be with the other.

Temperatures rising and falling,
The two kingdoms constantly fighting.

Similar to global warming and the ice age,
but can it be? for there to be a marriage.

The union between ice and fire
The solution that the we all desire.

Men aren't satisfied with only one
But only together can it be done.

We are always afraid of the future chaos
But alas, one day this tale shall be famous.

We don't want a 3rd to make it thrice
But we can only behold and tell,
"The tale of Fire and Ice".
