We Argued about\u2026<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

She began by saying I\u2019m wrong<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the usual way we start<\/span><\/p>\n

The point I made might have been strong<\/span><\/p>\n

But I made it to show I was smart.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There he goes as he stands there and tries<\/span><\/p>\n

Just because he has something to say<\/span><\/p>\n

He will never admit he\u2019s not wise<\/span><\/p>\n

I am right, he will not have his way<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just look how she stands there so smug<\/span><\/p>\n

The all-knowing, her answer is clear<\/span><\/p>\n

You can see as she gives me a shrug<\/span><\/p>\n

What I say she will not even hear<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll pretend he has something to say<\/span><\/p>\n

I can see he is poised for a fight<\/span><\/p>\n

Should I fold and let him have his way<\/span><\/p>\n

Heaven\u2019s No!\u00a0 When I know I am right<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s time to play the last card<\/span><\/p>\n

It is she who has made the goof<\/span><\/p>\n

She must listen. It\u2019s not very hard<\/span><\/p>\n

The recording I made is the proof<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He said I must listen right now<\/span><\/p>\n

As he starts up an app on his phone<\/span><\/p>\n

What it plays I can\u2019t disavow<\/span><\/p>\n

For that voice on the phone is my own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I see a sad gleam in her eye<\/span><\/p>\n

It looks like she\u2019s going to lose<\/span><\/p>\n

I hear a perceptible sigh<\/span><\/p>\n

What recompense shall I choose<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The recording is true as he guessed<\/span><\/p>\n

I must trick him and make him just doubt<\/span><\/p>\n

Since his memory is faulty at best<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think that he\u2019ll figure it out<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You say it was only a dream<\/span><\/p>\n

One inspired by a recent review<\/span><\/p>\n

You would never express that extreme<\/span><\/p>\n

If awake since you know it\u2019s not true.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I can see by his quizzical look<\/span><\/p>\n

That he\u2019s bought everything that I said<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s as easy to read as a book<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to get into his head.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So beware all you men, don\u2019t get caught<\/span><\/p>\n

When women and you disagree<\/span><\/p>\n

There is one thing that you must be taught<\/span><\/p>\n

They are certainly much smarter than we<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
