Listen to poem:
Why Argue by Bob Moore Women have to have the last word, I guess that they all do it’s a cross that all men bear, each day, to just get through It’s in a woman’s nature, to argue to the end even if she knows she’s wrong, her answer, she’ll defend She’ll never let an argument, die by natural causes she tries to keep it going, without any pauses and somehow she’ll remind you, of everything you’ve said from the day that you first met, it’s all filed in her head She’ll lead you on into a trap, and then she’ll snap it shut “but I remember when you said”, a tightness in the gut you know she has the where and when, right there on her tongue and too late, once again, you know, that you have it wrong I thought I’d found the answer, to getting the last word by simply saying ”yes dear”, should have known that was absurd she just looked me in the eye, and unsmilingly she said you’ll never have the last word, so get that through your head

Hello Bob Moore, when my husband was alive and a situation turned up that made him upset, He wanted to argue, I said " look at yourself in the mirror and argue, I want no part of it. Instead we talked it out. have a nice day my friend.

haha I am afraid a good argument (discussion) is part of my DNA, as long as it is friendly, if it gets personal or heated, I will walk away.

You wrote a poem of rhyme and flow, but I almost clicked off. I decided to share why: I, personally, have low tolerance for blanket statements and there is no way all women are the same. But, the writing itself is appealing, catchy and good. This is my final word, even if you say something back to me! All the best to YOU as an individual (my fav word) ...
