Resignation Leaves

Resignation leaves. Then inside his room he grieves sitting on a little chair wearing just his underwear. Resistance says, “No way! Never will I go away.” He is like a bloody hound so stubbornly he stays around! Resignation throws his hands in the air, makes no demands. See him give a little shrug. Someone give that guy a hug! Resistance has great staying power - from sun-up till the midnight hour. He’s water at a constant boil, the “squeaking wheel” that gets the oil! Resignation’s sure to quit. Inside his chair he sits and sits. Resistance, the annoying critter! He at least is no quitter!
