Damn

DAMN I`m damned if I do, And damned if I don`t, In questions of will, And questions of won`t. Each time I try, To converse with him, He misunderstands, And patience wears thin. Although I agree, With his views on most things, He questions my feelings, Because I don`t bring, A host of these matters, To discuss and debate, To the table with him, And sit and relate, Deep matters of course, On religion and such, Political views, And the law over much, Because I`m so tired, Of listening to him, As he groans and bemoans, How the future looks grim. I want to talk, About happier things, That don`t cause you worry, Things that don`t bring, All manner of problems, To weigh on your mind, So your life becomes burdoned, And time just a grind; So now I avoid him, As most others do, And he can`t understand, Why his friends are so few, And even his wife, Takes her leave to go hide, Because he`s so tiresome, She needs to confide, In someone more easy, On her poor strained nerves; No boyfriend or lover, Just someone who serves, A someone to lean on, Just one true friend, In whom to confide, When her patience wears thin. Judy Ball Some things that aren`t happy are important and need to be discussed but a steady diet of it morning, noon and night is a bit over much. It starts to weigh on a person`s mind and they need a break from it. Especially if you talk about it even during dinneer. That knots the stomach and you can`t eat let alone digest your food. A little light conversation is necessary too.
