The Flip Side of Being Reasonable

Being reasonable is dull. People walk all over you and win every argument by screaming at you as you cower in a corner. Making unreasonable demands gets attention and results. Look at unreasonable bosses and their company's productivity. Look at what unreasonable groups have accomplished. The Mob, Young Republicans, born again Christians, bird watchers, Michael Bolton fans.
No politician wants to be reasonable and examine the other side of an issue. They'd lose contributions from people who think that behavior makes the rest of us look immature.
Parents simply cannot be reasonable with teens, who are inherently evil.
If our Founding Fathers had been logical and reasonable we'd be speaking with an English accent through really bad teeth.
Reason is completely subjective, but unreasonable is something everyone can agree on. I think it would be unreasonable for me to expect any of you to read beyond this point. You're nodding in agreement.

Reasonable

Here are the facts
I loaned you my thong underwear
You finally returned them
Washed without fabric softener
Now I'm chafing like tree bark covers my privates
Let's be reasonable
Friendship has its boundaries

This is my dirt
Those are your seeds
Potatoes can be halved
Parsley is another story
Let's have a reasonable negotiation
It all winds up in our compost heap anyway
I believe that's my cherry tomato
In your kid's mouth
