Today I got mad My husband was rude to me So I was rude back
Then he tried to joke But I swelled up like a toad Our poor friend stood by
It’s no fun to watch Long-term married people fight It’s undignified
I can be thin-skinned It is not a pretty sight I go silent fast
I know that’s not fair Better to admit what’s wrong And let it all go
But sometimes I can’t It’s as if anger grabs me And hangs on too tight
We yelled riding home Saying words that were not true Then split for the day
Soon I telephoned And made the first concession We made up right then
I don’t like fighting And yet sometimes I flare up For no good reason
My husband teased me As soon as I returned home Finally, I laughed
He was rude it’s true But I took too much offense I want thicker skin
