Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

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.

Maurice Rigoler November 19, 2019 at 7:09 PM Glad I don't have this job, Caren. People often behave like stubborn, unmangeable animals! You must be gifted with patience. / M Caren Krutsinger November 19, 2019 at 8:53 PM It is interesting to me that my job requires patience and often times I can find not one more ounce of it.

Caren Krutsinger November 19, 2019 at 8:54 PM It is crazy to me how "junior high-ish" or "middle-school-now" adults can be!

Matthew Anish November 19, 2019 at 12:15 PM Stimulating verse with a good message at the end. Hard being an adult! Peace & Love Matthew Anish Caren Krutsinger November 19, 2019 at 8:55 PM It is SO hard!

Regina Mcintosh November 18, 2019 at 11:12 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 Caren Krutsinger November 19, 2019 at 8:55 PM I listen to both sides, amazed at how difficult they have made a simple task.
