POINTLESS TRYING
pointless trying
sometimes i wish
i could understand
whats up inside
the mind of a man
no matter how hard
i try to get through
he just keeps on believing
what he thinks is true
i try to reason
with every breath
but hes made up his mind
and hes stubborn to death
trying to convince him
his thoughts are wrong
is wasting your breath
and would take way to long
he does not and will not
see it your way
even if you explained it
all night and all day
no matter what
you do or you say
it gonna end up
wasting today
your best to tell him
he's right so he'll stop
then call up the girls
and go out and shop

It's like playing checkers with a pigeon, no matter what you do it shits on the board, knocks it over then struts around like it won the game. I like your wordplay and imaginative structure of your poem. Thought the ending was clever and a little fun

Trust the girls and the shopping formed a healing balm - pithy - made me smile - liked it.
