The Last Word

…Doesn’t Mean You Win

By Earl W. PearlPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

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
