We Argued about…
She began by saying I’m wrong
It’s the usual way we start
The point I made might have been strong
But I made it to show I was smart.
There he goes as he stands there and tries
Just because he has something to say
He will never admit he’s not wise
I am right, he will not have his way
Just look how she stands there so smug
The all-knowing, her answer is clear
You can see as she gives me a shrug
What I say she will not even hear
.
I’ll pretend he has something to say
I can see he is poised for a fight
Should I fold and let him have his way
Heaven’s No! When I know I am right
So it’s time to play the last card
It is she who has made the goof
She must listen. It’s not very hard
The recording I made is the proof
He said I must listen right now
As he starts up an app on his phone
What it plays I can’t disavow
For that voice on the phone is my own.
I see a sad gleam in her eye
It looks like she’s going to lose
I hear a perceptible sigh
What recompense shall I choose
The recording is true as he guessed
I must trick him and make him just doubt
Since his memory is faulty at best
I don’t think that he’ll figure it out
You say it was only a dream
One inspired by a recent review
You would never express that extreme
If awake since you know it’s not true.
I can see by his quizzical look
That he’s bought everything that I said
He’s as easy to read as a book
It’s not hard to get into his head.
So beware all you men, don’t get caught
When women and you disagree
There is one thing that you must be taught
They are certainly much smarter than we
