I must correct a lie you’ve heard
The rumors are untrue
It’s said I love the final word
When arguing with you
When know-it-all’s refuse to cease
Well, this is how I’ll act
I’ll bite my tongue” and hold my peace
Apologize, in fact
If my opinion fails to sway
There’s nothing more I’ll spew
Until YOU’VE had the final say
The argument’s not through
I’ll let you blab eternally
To ramble ‘til you’re done
Until I end up finally
Admitting that you’ve won
I know I’m often off the wall
And told a tale or two
So my confession to you all
Ain’t none of this crap true

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.

hahaha so you won't stop wanting the last word? Sometimes it just isn't worth it - the old saying, do you want to be right, or happy? LOL, loved your poem.
