Sometimes I Just Wanna Scream

some things I can't tolerate

Runny eggs, cold feet on a chilly night

umbrella's turned inside out in a storm

my annoyance of mispelled words

prolonged hiccups, loud burps

people that pop gum incessantly 

never a parking space at the malls

fluffy snow turned black, icy roads

sticky fingers in my hair and up my back

burnt popcorn, the price of gas

dirty kitchen floors and no wine refills

the words moist and ridonkulous 

old coffee and running out of hazelnut creamer

raw chicken, knuckles or organ meats

guys with speedos & white reflective  sunglasses 

toddlers with make-up in beauty pageants 

and unrequited love

the list goes on.......................

Most of all what I can't tolerate

none more appalling than the hypocrite

that vile man or woman who spew cruel

that stand on the church steps preaching

whilst denigrating his fellow man

with nasty callous words of contempt 

 Amen

alot of wrong habits which we can not accept. the strange thing is, everyone may look against those habits if you talk to them individually but they are still everywhere! as a teacher who has alot of teenagers students, let me add my scream to yours..

It's funny how so much can go wrong in a day.. it's nice to get all of that anger and stress out with a loud primal scream ( maybe I yell too much? for no reason sometimes too to say the least.. >:) Great poem.

The list could be endless....It's funny that one person's hates are another persons's loves- I'm a fan of the word moist myself!
My personal hate is mis-used apostrophes (as in umbrella's !!- sorry!)
