Optimist and the Pessimist....Disagree

The optimist,tells the pessimist
...........not to be so cynical,
but,it is hard to resist laughing 
..........at developing satirical

Adornments of mother nature
aren't evil,hellish caricatures
sunken uncomely creatures
with somewhat similar features,
but,whom's to weigh and measure
as we return with our treasure,
understanding from endeavors
wrought out from pain and pleasure...

The pessimist tells me it doesn't matter
it's almost time to quit this pitter-patter
but...the optimist just wants to clear the air,
find something or someone who really cares....

Only we,can know personally,
the amount of treasure in our storehouse.....
