While controversy rages
And arguments abound,
So long as I’m delivering
I love to stick around.
But should the tide of battle
Turn, and I’m receiving,
It’s then you’re apt to see me
Use the door for leaving.
Before you brand me coward,
And from invitations strike me,
I beg you to recall the
Million others like me
Who, while Quite unproud of
Being back-door users,
Can, by dodging swiftly,
Keep from being losers.
