Nonsense

When are you going to grow up
She asked me one day
Never I said
If I have my way
She said you act like a fool
Don't you take anything serious
Sometimes I do
But right now I'm delirious
She said I'm going to see my brother
I don't know how late I will be
I said if you're back before August
It'll be all right with me
She moaned you're out of shape 
You're getting too fat
I said round is a shape
And I like it like that
Hey, I'm glad you made coffee
How long did it brew
I guess I shouldn't complain
Someday I'll be old and weak too
Dear, how come when we agree 
We never fight
And when we disagree
You're always right
She said you never listen to me anymore
You don't hear a word I say
I asked what did you say, I wasn't paying attention
Then I got up and walked away
I said what's with the frying pan
Why is your face so red
She said I want to see what it sounds like 
When it comes in contact with your head
Now this poem is pure nonsense
So don't believe a word I say
I Just watched the presidential debates
So I wrote something goofy today
