A Lover's Right!

A Lover's Right!

A Lover's Right!

Needing to be right
is your prelude to a fight,
and no snugs tonight.
.  .  .
But always take care 
 and win a tiff here and there, 
to declaw the bear.

In traditional Senryu/Haiku format

This Senryu is about fights in relationships and how needing to be right can cause problems. I like how it talks about taking care and winning small arguments to keep things calm. It's fun to read, and I think it teaches a good lesson, Dylan.

Was pretty hard to understand for a kid tho :)

Thanks AH for such a nice review! :)
Three questions a husband should ask himself:
1. Does this need to be said?
2. Does this need to be said now?
3. Does this need to be said now by me?
