The Long Con

   

I called myself an alcoholic

   in an attempt to get alcohol

   out of the house

But you called my bluff by refusing

   to honor my request

Should I have demanded, negotiated, nagged

Reasoning with you didn't make any

   difference at all and in fact made

   your rebellion even more resolute

Tell me now, how was that good for us,

   our children, our family
