They Pout and Slam Doors

Being a professional listener has its perk
Sometimes I hear both sides and I am astounded.
They both portray the other one as a big jerk.
All of their accusations are pretty unfounded.

I listen and I nod, being insanely nice.
These are consenting adults, so they could quickly fix it.
All they have to do is talk to each other more than twice.
I try to get them together so they can mix it.

They hem and they haw, pout and slam doors sometimes.
It is not pleasant to see. Ridiculous actually.
It is easy to turn their behaviors into one of my rhymes.
They need to grow up and be the best adults they can be.

You must be gifted with patience. / M Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/19/2019 8:53:00 PM It is interesting to me that my job requires patience and often times I can find not one more ounce of it.

Regina Mcintosh Date: 11/18/2019 11:12:00 PM It's hard - this adulting... sometimes, but also easy in another way. With God's help we can all get along. Love to you, friend, Gina Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/19/2019 8:55:00 PM I listen to both sides, amazed at how difficult they have made a simple task.
