Domestic Bliss Or Blitz? Poem by Robert Melliard

Some couples argue all the time;
not about important things,
but trivia.

They differ, for example, on how long it took
to get from A to B last summer,
when they went abroad,
or how many times they stopped, and where,
or how much they spent on meals.

I always want to ask: 'Who cares? '
Or 'Does it really matter? '
Or 'Are you planning to go on all night? '

Quietly, I hope that one of them
will soon give in;
but no, they both insist.
Such flak may be essential
in order to achieve domestic blitz.
