Agree to Disagree

There are times you say, yes; I see things

differently and tend to disagree. We both

know, that’s just the way things go.

Shakespeare tends to agrees with me; at

times, Frost takes your side. You’re thrown

by the horse; without faltering, I ride.

Your poems always rhyme at the end

of each line; Sometimes, I take a different

direction with mine.

Occasionally, I’ll use semi-colons in each

stanza to make my point; you tend to use

little or no punctuation at all.

This whole silly exercise begs the question,

who’s right and who’s wrong? I say we agree

to disagree, and let's let Shakespeare decide.

Or we could always flip a coin. If it’s heads,

I’ll consent to rhyme sometimes, but not at the

end of each and every line. That’s just silly.

And by the way, what in hell does horse riding

have to do with all this, you may be asking?

I felt I needed to apply an extra line this time.
