For Miranda Hawley's 'Choose a topic sentence' poetry contest

I chose sentence #3

______________________________________________________________________


Compromise is only a weakness between
two people who are unwilling to work together.
I dwell on this statement. Just what does it mean?

Well, if with another you refuse to work,
I would have to say it’s very clear
your unwillingness makes you one big jerk.

Indeed, so often "coworker" and "jerk" are synonyms. Retirement will cure that ill, AD! :o)

Ha ha Andrea: I wish our Congress would quit their compromising and do what is right for the country. I have been out with a terrible ‘flu. Still feeling wonky but over the worst. Luv, SuZ
