Commonsense

Je pence

Out of commonsense

To built a fence

For my defense

Don’t be tense

I know I’m intense

But please don’t take offense

Based on false pretense

Please, hold the suspense

And all your incense

Until your sense

Understands my self-defense

My abhorrence

And abstinence

Aren’t a coincidence

I’m lacking the confidence

That will make the difference

My innocence

And inexperience

Were busted by your indifference

You insulted my intelligence

With your insolence

My intransigence

Is your penitence

Patience and persistence

Will prove your prudence

Silence is my preference

To answer your impertinence

So you see, why my fence is commonsense!
