How are my parents different?

My parents are polar opposites
Dad loves international travel
Mom loves in-state travel
Mom is an extrovert
Dad is an introvert
Dad is tall
Mom is short
Mom loves to do the dishes
Dad does not
Dad is open minded to food
Mom only wants to eat what she likes
Mom loves tacos
Dad could care less
Dad has hair on his chin and not on his head
Mom has hair on top of her head and not on her chin
Mom is not good at math
Dad has a minor in math
Dad tells me to dress functionally
Mom helps me dress fashionably

Oh my gosh I love how this turned out! I remember reading the first draft, that was more like a paragraph. It's so great as a poem!! Superb work with the revision process.
The last two lines are the best.
