Leaving Me Space (Revised)

Of course I was wrong; the gods had
more trials for me after the successful
completion of my urgent documents,

Tonight my daughter kindly advised my
contribution to discussion of her friend's
driving mishaps was unwelcome -

I only wanted them to leave so I could
watch a romantic thriller on television -
but nobody moved, so I left instead

I‘ll want to watch it uninterrupted
fairly soon - it is beyond me why they
cannot quietly leave now

They should calm down, hold a different
conversation leaving me space too - or
let me watch wilting romance in peace
