exception to the rule

The rule says "That's the way it must be"
Exception says "I have a better repartee"

The rule says "It's always been that way"
Exception says "Maybe before, but not today"

The rule says "We've been over this again and again"
Exception says "Over before, this time we'll refrain"

The rule says "You won't know what'll occur"
Exception says "Didn't know exactly, before"

The rule says "It'll never work correctly"
Exception says "We can find out directly"

The rule says "I take exception to your assertion"
Exception says "All I offer is compelling coercion"

The rule says "You know there'll be hell to pay!"
Exception says "Don't worry, you know, it'll be okay"

Great poem Gg...somehow it just brought back memories of the seven commandments in "Animal Farm"...All animals are equal...but some are more equal than others...I know a bit of a weird comparison. Anyway very witty. cheers

Hi, agoodguy2have,
Exception says "I have a better repartee"... There are "Exception"al poets who take exception to things. You, cleverly, are are one of them!

Love it.
It's like a clause intended to fill the loophole but creates another loophole.
