How To Make Up Without Saying I'm Sorry

I could still convince myself to stay I could make myself if I wanted to But you'll have to get out of my way My eggs use more butter than your way And you bitch about it like all I do I could still convince myself to stay When you bitch what do you want me to say I'm sorry if there's some way that I wronged you But you'll have to get out of my way You bitch that I'm too fucking gay Then you bitch when I don't say I love you I could still convince myself to stay You can act like you're in some tragic play Or pretend you're a persecuted Jew But you'll have to get out of my way What did I do wrong today? Did I paint the sky too damn blue? I could still convince myself to stay But you'll have to get out of my way

This is rubbish. I think you should rewrite the first stanza as follows:

I could still convince myself to be gay
I could make myself if I wanted to
But you'll have to get out of my way

I think you're off base. I'm already gay. It's not something I need to convince myself of. Matter of fact the convincing often goes the other way. Perhaps you know first hand about this?

Oh and by the way if I did that then I'd have to rewrite all but two stanzas. That's the way a vilanelle works.

Thanks for attempting to offend me. I'm touched that you care. Unfortunately for you it's going to take a lot more effort than that. Good luck and long life. You'll need both if you plan on getting a rise out of me with pitiful attempts like that.

I think pissing you off was his point. He lives for it. Good Vilanelle by the way. -9-

Nah he was just a whiner living with a passive-aggressive BPD sufferer. We actually got along great because he could take these occasional out bursts as long as I followed them up with periods of guilt induced niceties.

Thanks for the Nine though.
