paybacks

When did this job 
devolve on me? 
Now I do it all the time. 
Seems to me this once
was yours. Once 
you said, "Hey, 
could you please-"

It's since been mine. 
It seems as though 
another of your dirty tricks 
has played out sweet! At least 
for you. For me, I guess 
You've got me beat. 

Well, I don't mind.
I get my own in slick
sure ways of all you do 
unasked and unexpected,
True. Unnecessary, half
the time. Gratuitous, but
hoo, reliable as nudity in
certain kinds of horror films
or sex in porn. I'm sure
you knew. Oh,

I get mine. You're nuts 
if you think just you do.
I've got the sweeter deal
by far, between us here!
Now, please let's not
fight over that. You say
you do, it's true
but you would, dear.
