THOUGHTS — OUT OF MY MIND 
 
 
 
 
ISSUES 
 
I know that there are issues 
that get lots of folks annoyed,
And we tend to think those topics 
are the ones we must avoid.
 
The people whom we love 
might not always be disposed
To support the things we favor 
and oppose what we oppose.
 
I’d like to think relationships 
are strong enough to weather
All the stress of disagreement 
when good people get together.
 
We surely would be better off 
in ways that we relate,
To spend more time discussing them 
and less time in debate.
 
 
                                         
THE WINNER
 
I won the meeting yesterday
because I had the most to say.
 
I usually win with other folks
by topping all their favorite jokes.
 
With friends I never lose a fight;
they generally concede I’m right.
 
And with my spouse I have to say
I almost always get my way.
 
I cut each person down to size—
I wonder when I’ll get my prize?

   TIMING

When my behavior is untoward,
My conscience is a flaming sword.
Of course it's better, I concede,
To brandish it before the deed.
