Pardon me<\/p>\n
from your attitude<\/p>\n
how rude of me<\/p>\n
to stand it any longer<\/p>\n
the fragrant foul<\/p>\n
of your audacious<\/p>\n
tongue I couldn’t<\/p>\n
welcome home<\/p>\n
any longer<\/p>\n
the questioning<\/p>\n
the complaining<\/p>\n
the putting me down<\/p>\n
I might as well say<\/p>\n
thank you and kiss<\/p>\n
your face, when you<\/p>\n
bring home the<\/p>\n
two faced clown<\/p>\n
have a nice day<\/p>\n
computes to a<\/p>\n
a verbal slap in the<\/p>\n
face it’s rhetorical<\/p>\n
anyway, you don’t really<\/p>\n
care about my day<\/p>\n
as much as you care<\/p>\n
about me staying out<\/p>\n
of your way yet you<\/p>\n
are always in my face<\/p>\n
breathing down my<\/p>\n
neck and calling me<\/p>\n
whatever words eclipse<\/p>\n
your tainted lips<\/p>\n
a punch in the gut<\/p>\n
is your how are you?<\/p>\n
and I return it with<\/p>\n
a newly learned karate<\/p>\n
kick. \u00a0I’m fine thank you<\/p>\n
I’ll expect you out by<\/p>\n
the end of the hour<\/p>\n
or else, there will be a<\/p>\n
welcome home sign<\/p>\n
waiting for you at the<\/p>\n
morgue, with all the<\/p>\n
courage I could muster<\/p>\n
I evicted my sickness<\/p>\n
before it took both of<\/p>\n
us under.<\/p>\n
