Curtains

For all the sacrifices I made

In just a jiffy you called it quits

I didn’t anticipate this

Too small a thing to quarrel

Far too small to even think of

I’ve not given it that serious

thoughts. I know it’s close to

your heart. She’s so dear to you

I know it would hurt her but..

Yes, you told me. I know

But it was a silly mistake

It was there sitting pretty

She only came here once

If she comes a second time

We’ll do something about it

Ok, no white curtains

We’ll take them down

Your Mom hates lace

Fine, we’ll take them down

It’s just that I had always

liked lace!
