For the Sake of Argument

I had laid foundation for this moment. But who I wonder, might be listening? The deftly fashioned phrases I had planned, now tumble into mismatched tiles of scrambled words, from scrabble's hand spilling garble out of hand! Now, this is news you may refuse But let me tell you: HOW NOT TO ARGUE! Yes! Wrestle, woo with words, I will! I spill opinions, and take a stand! Will he fall and say “Yes dear,” while my stunning words appear taking hold the upper hand? Darn it!, much against my will, emotional blubber, my tears will well! My calm approach, and swift attack, falls apart, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?? !! My soapbox, platform, for two left feet, will crumble with my shamed defeat! My five alarm fire, starts with a blaze, too soon becomes a fading haze ! Just gol-darn smoke gets in his face! Gibberish, senseless words out loud, once proud embers, sound absurd! Can't I once, get THE LAST WORD?? The surging tide, a frothy ripple, makes him giggle, never grovel! Pleasure gleams in both his eyes, This drama queen just wants to die! Dang it, I can never win He folds his arms, and sports a grin! Better end this bitter novel...... Let me dig, with my own shovel !! ______________________ For Verlena's Slam Contest...Round 2
