I had to write a poem as part of my application.  I share it with you here for fun...

Unfair

It’s absolutely unjust, It’s shameful and it’s wrong.”
(My thirteen-year-old daughter has made Fairness her theme song.)

“It’s biased, unethical, it’s immensely foul!”
She started in this morning and continues now to howl.

I can’t get a word in edge wise; she is on a roll
Global warming, civil rights now she’s on to gun control.

Ever the zestful advocate.  She’s passionate and tough.
Any thought of compromise is met with a rebuff.

But, when I suggest that with her sibs she try get along,
“It’s absolutely unjust, It’s shameful and it’s wrong.”
