REACHING CONSENSUS

She said:
“For a softer, milder touch
You shouldn’t swear so much
Try to temper it with honey
Say something that’s funny”

He said:
“I’ll say what I want to say
‘Cause I bring home the pay
I give you all the money
Now isn’t that real funny?”

She said:
“Fine, if that is how you feel
That’s my final appeal
You can sleep in the chair
We have nothing else to share”

He said:
“Ok, I’ll clean it up
I know I’ve been abrupt
No sleeping on the chair
I know you’ll do what’s fair”
