What's the point
Of arguing with yourself
If you're gonna go
Irrational
You make excellent points
Which you quickly refute
All in good taste
And quite civil
That is, of course
Until THE subject is broached
Then you rage
And whine
Making ridiculous rationalizations
And nonsensical nonsequitors
Flinging accusations
And ignoring all good temperment
So I ask you again
What is the point
Either never mention THE subject
Or find a way through
To some semblance
Of civility.
