The Big Fight
He walks in and tries to kiss her
But she turns the other cheek
He asks her what's wrong
She says, “Well, your breath really reeks!”
He crosses his arms
And a frown's on his face
He says she's one to talk
Because her breath's a disgrace!
Her mouth drops open
She's truly in shock
How dare he insult her
He must be dumb as a rock
Now he's really mad
His face is all red
She started it all
She should have just left it unsaid
She yells at him then
And says it's all his fault
He should have known she wouldn't kiss him
His breath smelled so bad, he really should have thought
“Well, excuse me for eating
My lunch this afternoon
I guess I should just starve,
I must be a buffoon!”
She huffed and turned away
He just didn't love her anymore
He used to always be thoughtful
At least he was before
He swears he still loves her
But why is she such a pain?
Must they always fight
Over things so inane?
She shouts that he's crazy
She doesn't even understand
When he uses such big words
It's more than she can withstand!
He laughs at her then
And shouts that inane isn't a big word
But just tell him how to talk
Just tell him what she preferred
She cries, “I just want you to love me!”
He says, “I do, I really do!”
She asks if he promises
And he nods and crosses his heart too
She smiles finally
So he says, “Then a kiss I will sneak,”
But she turns away
And says, “But your breath really reeks...”
