A Delicate Approach

Vorkommen

Homer:
When your partner's in a tizzy,
Flossing till she's dizzy,
Clearly in the wrong, but certain she's right.
It's your responsibility,
To imply her culpability,
In a way that doesn't instigate a fight.
Whoops.
Don't escalate the situation.
Or add further complication.
Mince your words, so as never to encroach.
Deliver your advice,
But make sure to do it nice,
For it's best to use a delicate approach.
Marge, darling…

Marge:
Leave me alone!

Homer:
Marge, listen! I'm being delicate!

Marge:
Oh, are you?

Homer:
Now, I know you may think you were just in your actions,
But it makes my heart sink to see your infractions,
Your feelings were hurt, but it's malice you blurt.
Your transaction compels a retraction.

Marge:
Oh, you're right, Homie. It's all my fault. I did the one thing a stage manager must never do: I put myself before the show.

Homer:
You see, kids?
It's best to use a delicate,
Approach!
