The Pessimist and Optimist,
appear to disagree.
Their perspectives seem quite contrary,
and that we all can see.

But take a closer look,
It may not be as it seems.
"I have found a point and they concur."
the moderator gleams.

The Optimist is certain,
he emphatically will state,
this world in which we live in,
there are none just quite as great.

The Pessimist he nods his head,
as if he might agree.
You have a valid point here,
I am "afraid" that it might be.

Taken from the saying that, "the optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears that may be true."
