rules

for those of us that must have rules

here’s a rule or two

the first one is that I hate rules

when they are mandated by a few

for there is a lot to be said by asking

because it shows how much you care

instead of tossing out one sided rules

that will ruffle another’s hair?

and also why don’t you listen

when others plead their case

for you keep pushing onward

as if to just shove it in their face

and when it all is over

and you’ve run them from the room

will you still sit there clueless

as if you were on the moon?

or will you get your act together

and finally treat others with respect

then watch and see what happens

before someone rings your neck
