All of these, though messy,
Wearisome and boring,
Are just routine, simplicity,
Jobs I know I’m fit for.

Yanking weeds? Just call me.
Scrubbing tubs? I’m there.
Peeling funky bedclothes?
I’ll sail into the task.

But arbitrating arguments,
Soothing ailing feelings,
Extinguishing the past --
Don’t ask.
