Don't quibble with me!

I'm not in the bloody mood

to hear your yelling!

I know the damn truth!

If you don't know the real me,

don't converse with me!

When I exchange blows,

I waste my time ingesting

your lethal toxins.

I'm so fragile;

I can break like a snow globe,

so don't move to fast!

I have enough wounds

to last me many decades;

I don't need extras!

I'll die if I keep

playing these perilous games;

don't quibble with me.
