I’m Stubborn Like That

Obstinate poetry

André Santana

I tried on a hat
and to my surprise
It slid over my head
and covered my eyes

Still, I got out my card
and purchased the hat
Although it fit poorly
I’m stubborn like that

I went for a horse ride
I’m sure you approve
I said, “Giddy up”
But the horse wouldn’t move

I sat there for hours
engaged in combat
A battle of wills
I’m stubborn like that

I ordered a steak
cooked medium rare
It came out overdone
I started to glare

I called to my waiter
and sent it right back
Then sent back fifteen more
I’m stubborn like that

I post opinions online
because people should see
When it comes to positions
No one’s righter than me
