Summary: I'm not sure if an arguing monologue counts as contradiction.




Time to get up,
move on out the flat.
Go to get stuff done.

I won’t move.
It’s beyond me,
I’m staying here all day.

Come on Bob,
get up you lazy git.
You have things to get done.

No, I’m staying here,
I can’t be arsed,
I have better things to do.

Like what?
You’d only watch TV.
All day sat there like a big fat lump.

So what?
I’ve earned it,
leave me alone.

I can’t mate,
I’m in here with you,
wherever you go.

Well then I’m not listening to you.
You get on my wick,
always telling me what to, and not to do.

Its all good advice,
you should listen to me sometimes,
you never do.

I know I don’t,
but that’s my choice.
Now leave me be,
I’ve sleeping to do.
