Just Stay.

Don't return the tennis ball
--
Just let it skip away.
Remember, bickering's a game
That it takes two to play.
Let the anger dissipate
Like fog beneath the sun.
For at the end of lovers' wars,
One finds that no one's won.
Oh, yes, one cannot help sometimes
To let the fury flow
Like lava forced up from the earth
By pressure deep below.
But each should let the other rant
And rave till passions pall,
Then bend down politely to
Retrieve the tennis ball.
