His and Her Way
Everything in its place dear
This goes here
and that goes there
It's all so very important
I wonder why you don't care
When you are so messy
I swear I want to pull out my hair
Didn't I just finish telling you
This goes here and that goes there
You lead me to frustration
With your lack of consideration
Don't you hear when I keep asking
Oh please oh me oh my
Those things a bit off of a centre
Are discombobulating to this guy
I'm perplexed by your disheveled
It's not pleasing to my eye
Why can't you do just a little bit
I swear you don't even try!
Her Response:
When I rise in the morning
Who cares if I make the bed
You think I am disheveled
I think it's my style instead
When you're so pernickety
It sometimes makes me see red
Try letting loose a little bit
There are layers you can shed
I'm not about the makeup
Hanging up clothes or other extremes
Yet I'm not quite as messy
as sometimes I'm sure it seems
I do like your sense of order
and that predictability sometimes
I've even come appreciate
that you feel in orderly rhymes
So I'll let you be mostly yourself
and I'll try to compromise a bit
I'll care somewhat a bit more often
where many of the little things sit
Embrace just a bit of unpredictable
For within it a certain order exists
Be daring and a bit spontaneous
Don't be afraid to shake your fists
You'll learn that the special things in life
Won't be written on orderly lists
All in the end that really matters
can be experienced by taking some risks
