Compromise

by Terry Olynik

He wanted to name
Their new daughter
Ember.

She said
That sounds like
A stripper.

She wanted to name
Their new daughter
Victoria.

He said
That sounds like
1891.

They compromised -
Naming their new daughter
Victoria.

I've seen too many of this type on 'compromise'. They seem to happen in marriages that sometimes don't end well.
