Polite Fight

Today, I got into a Polite Fight
Over the last Wonder Woman night-light
"Oh, its yours," I insisted,
She demurred, I resisted,
Until I gave in and let her be right!

Back again with congratulations on your placement in the contest. Competition sure is fierce: Your entry is proof that "Nice Guys DON'T finish last." (In fact, they win every race in the long run). Smiles! :) gw

I like it!! You ARE so polite, which leads you to do the right thing...although it's a bit 'un-American' these days to be such an angel. I.e., we're encouraged to rant, rave, get angry, not give an inch, take'm to court, etc. You're the last of a dying breed of ladies and gentlemen, Michelle,---and I hope your approach outlasts the current craze and all of the current crazies! :) gw

There's a tinge of irony in this poem. "She demurred, I resisted" is touching.
