Villanelle

We must agree to disagree I said
There is no way you’ll ever change my mind
But you kept quoting from a book you’d read

And I just wanted to go home to bed
Another cup of coffee I declined
We must agree to disagree I said

Your words kept buzzing round inside my head
But made no sense or none that I could find
But you kept quoting from a book you’d read

You kept insisting I had been misled
By people whose intentions you maligned
We must agree to disagree I said

I had no wish to follow where you led
And in your world of wisdom be confined
But you kept quoting from a book you’d read

I just couldn’t get them into your thick head
Those arguments I thought I had outlined
We must agree to disagree I said
But you kept quoting from a book you’d read
