Persnickety

By Bud Lemire

Why are people so persnickety, I'd really like to know
Why can't they just accept the outcome, and then let it go

You could say, fastidious is the word
It's gotten to the point, of being absurd

You've got to understand, not everyone will be like you
You may think you're better, but it's simply not true

What you know, may be more knowledge than the rest
Change the subject, and they just might know the best

Accept them, accept you, let all things just be
Let things be as they are, that really is the key

Some people that you know, think it's very impolite
To tell them they are wrong, and that you are right
