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...” A.M.E.
