A Walking Thesaurus

D'ya know any people who are always right Are they annoying creatures or what Wonder who made them a walking thesaurus They sure make my blood run hot Love to poke holes in what they're saying Proving that they ain't infallible Jump at any chance to prove these guys wrong To be right every time is impossible Engaging these people in normal conversation Is frustrating and hard on the psyche You wanna shout and yell naughty words And physically harm them, by crikey Best thing to do is just try to remain calm Dispute everything they're saying Drives them batty and they blow their stack As around the issue you go skating A naughty and devious man I am Get a chuckle out of seeing 'em rage Sure serves 'em right for being so arrogant Must be the attention they crave

Love this Jack your honesty is well appreciated my friend. I guess when you examine this topic you find out that we all think we are right in our opinions lol. We all believe certain things and that is why some of us are so passionate about our opinions. I when I encounter such individuals which is everyone, I give them the facts and try to be gentle and kind some advice is important to their health and you have to be as kind as possible to get your point across. You get more with honey

Hello Happy Jack, i do not like these people who think they are always right. I once asked a question and the response was--- "What you don't know the answer to that?! " I walked away. Love, DARLENE XXX-OOO.

Oh, I really like this poem, Jack. A FAVE. No one annoys me more than a know-it-all who knows very little. When I am around that sort, I really have to watch my blood pressure.

LOL I tend to just sit back and let it go... nothing is that worth it to getting all heated up about! And about you...

Jack, someone once told me that I was a "contrarian", that i would take the opposite side of any discussion/argument just to keep it going. I had no rebuttal

I tend to back off and let it go, nothing is worth the aggravation! But that's just me, I've seen others getting physical just to prove a point! WOW!
