The fighting couple© Tony Fallon 121417
As I was sitting in a restaurant I heard a couple fight
After listening for a while it was hard to say who was right
It was also very hard to decide which of them was wrong
One was stubborn as a mule the other was headstrong
It was hard to tell which was which neither was consistent
But to have their side heard both were most insistent
She said you spent every spare moment in the local bar
He said whenever I come home early you jump in the car
Then I don’t see you again for many, many hours
After I’ve helped with homework and with nightly showers
So then you see what I go through with children into sports
And going to see teachers when they get bad reports
Taking care of three children is no bed of roses
Every day I have dirty clothes and in winter dirty noses
No matter what I say he said you immediately are opposed
For any of my suggestions your mind is quickly closed
There were no slurred words so they both must be sober
I wonder if they will be together still come next October
Maybe they are the kind of people who just like to bicker
I’d hate to be in their house later if they add a bottle of liquor
It went back and forth between them about school and PTA
In the end it made no sense it was just blah, blah, blah
If the sun was shining one would complain about the weather
I wonder how a couple like this ever got together
