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..

[Frieda P]

haha, nothing like primal scream therapy! Thanks khalid, always an interesting response from you....

[khalid]

intresting responses for great words penned by unique poet..

[Kristina Moulaison]

Yeah, this is great! ...and unrequited love, just slipped in there at the end. The last stanza, I couldn't agree with more and very well stated. Also you are brilliant at being able to laugh at yourself. I imagine that's what keeps you healthy!

[Frieda P]

pfft, now that was funny! Healthy would be an outrageous reach, more like two pints short of insanity. ;-) Thanks!

[Kristina Moulaison]

If you know you're crazy, your not really crazy, or something like that...

[Frieda P]

If you can relate, maybe we're both nutters lol

[Kristina Moulaison]

Probably true!

The monkey's hilarious... and yeah, those things can pretty much annoy the carp out of you... especially the toddlers in make-up doing beauty pageants... seriously people let kids be kids... nice one. ^_^

[Frieda P]

The monkey's an old ex, I keep his pic around just for times like these ;)
Thanks...

[tarryfranck97]

This is brilliant - Very powerful, humorous poem. I truly enjoyed reading this. Bravo!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much, it was actually a very fun write.

[KeeD]

Haha wow, this made me smile and giggle. Such power through humor and the mutual frustration I share throughout this write. Even your status update "Dear Santa, if you leave a new Maserati GranCabrio Sport under the tree, I'll give you the antidote to the poison that's in the milk." made my night, I laughed so much. You're writing is brilliant. You make the reader feel comfortable and have a good time as well as agree with what you have to say, that is truly an art. Being a mother and an independent entrepreneur and at the same time being so cool and humorous, inspire me. "Subscribes" Great write.

[Frieda P]

Well you made my night too Kee. ;-)

Thanks..

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

some of these I can definitely rellate to but especially that last stanza. Yes, that infuriates me too.

[Frieda P]

That was the crux of it, I just had fun with the rest, thanks.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Hey who da monkey? What a rant. Do yah think you missed anything out?

[Frieda P]

Yeah, I forgot women that wear 9 inch heels to the grocery store, and they can't even walk in the freakin things!

[Sami Khalil]

I tip my hat to you with your unique writes ... Thank you for speaking your mind and the truth...

[Frieda P]

Thank you kind sir, I usually get in trouble for speaking my mind, heh but I never learn...

[Sami Khalil]

Don't worry . It is all right. You are speaking the truth and I can relate and sing along with you. Thank you too .

[Tree]

Quite a list Frieda. And I can identify with every one of them...

[Frieda P]

Thanks Diego, I guess a lot of people can...

[InsanityWriter]

Excellent job! :D

[Frieda P]

Thanks, what...no list? ;-)

[InsanityWriter]

Lol. Pretty much all you said. XD Hmmm. And maybe also when the teacher is erasing the board, and they miss a spot. >.< ;)

[Frieda P]
