(The unwonderful world of low-budget room rental conflict resolution)
*****
Will benignant forces
Be victorious?
Will rational action
With new peace we bless?
Will of my convenience
Further sacrifice
Exchanges acrimonious
Successfully replace?
If I allow you to maintain
Your own kitchen in
All the smells and filth you wish,
Tranquility I win?
Will it pull this household back
Of Jerry Springer from the brink
If I consent to wash my dishes
In the bathroom sink?
