Pet Peeves

A ploy to provoke me
Anything to annoy me
A feeling of
Inflated irritation
Impossible to pretend
I’m not irritable within
With calm
And complacent patience

Responding with resentment
Because of what I’m being served
Pests trying their best
To irk my nerves
While their sole purpose
Is to see my peace disturbed

By twisting around
The words I’ve said
Crumbs in the bed
And speaking ill of the dead

Mismatched socks
Alarm clocks
Beating on the door
Instead of simple knocks


Those who read out loud
But can’t read
When people brown nose
Content to follow
And not lead

Licking your finger
To turn a page
Drivers on their cell phones
Causing road rage
Working in a cubicle
Feels like a cage
When asked a question
Your answer is vague

People staring at me
While I eat
Someone hogging
All the covers and sheets
And I hate anything that
Has to do with feet

I hate when I have
To choose sides
The fact that I would be
The “life of the party”
If I wasn’t so shy
When people call shotgun
And they’re just going for the ride
And constant complainers
Should all die!

Those who profusely spit
People who talk nothing but bullshit
Public displays of affection
Just to show “this is who I’m with”

Being "lovey dovey"...makes me sick

Politically incorrect
Blatant disrespect
By cops who supposedly
Serve and protect

A parent who ignores their child’s cries
Someone who feels forced to apologize
But the thing that I most despise
Is someone who habitually lies…
…and denies
and denies…!

And people who are quick
To never let you forget
All of their “good deeds”…

These are just a few
Of my pet peeves…
