Disinclined to Acquiesce
I don't agree as you can see
In giving you your way.
I worked real hard in my backyard
For most of yesterday.
So why would I agree to try
The lawnmower you bought,
When I can sit to benefit
My back with time I've got?
Perhaps next week we both will speak
Of chores to do outside.
And if we do, I'll say to you,
"I'm trying to decide."
