The Great HaterA Poem by HappyOddGirlAfter reading 'The Great Lover' by Rupert Brooke, it occurred to me how often we meet the opposite attitude - people who hate everything! This isn't about a real person. :)The Great Hater “I hate people who laugh too loud, They show themselves up in a crowd; And girls with lips and nails too red " They look like tarts!” the woman said. “I hate people who let the tap drip, And selfish brats who give you lip " They only skive and watch TV " A waste of space if you ask me! “But men are worst " their life-support Is chips and beer and sex and sport; They don’t so much as wash a cup, And always leave the loo-seat up! “I hate people who jump the queue, And people who wear green with blue; And Dolees who sponge off the State " Now laziness I really hate! “And immigrants " they’ve only come Because we’re soft on foreign scum; And Janet’s kids do make a row; And Mrs Smith " she’s such a cow!” And thus she hacked her way through life, Her tongue like a serrated knife; She deepened her embittered state, Each day found something new to hate, Until, upon her final day She’d hated all her friends away. She died alone " and, like her living, Her grave was cold and unforgiving. © Ruth Fanshaw 2011 © 2011 HappyOddGirlFeatured Review
