the conflicting views/and subsequent arguments/sucked the oxygen.

guess. test. revise thought./the scientific method:/anti-kerfuffle.

why do we argue/about stuff no one can prove?/it passes the time.

argumentative/representatives preen; wax/reprehensible.

cantankerously unobstreperous

curmudgeons may include him, her, and you
and dogs who howl and bay to fill the moon
not mentioning an undynamic duo

kerfuffle ends, but soon will be another

rasputin took some hits, but none too deep
olivier became a drilling foe
upended abel’s brother was no keeper
soliloquizing hamlet sez hell/o
life reads as epic, wit reads like a senryu
you turn a scowl to grin–you pay your dues
