Making the Bed

An example of poetry being a solution to a conflict.

Making the Bed

Your side, my side,
Why can't you do it right?
Why do we have to disagree
And end up in a fight?

You think it should be one way,
And I think another.
I finally give in,
And call my mother.

Daughter, oh daughter,
Listen to what I say,
Compromise and do it his way,
But only every other day.
