Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

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

Michael Tor October 8, 2022 at 12:43 PM 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.

Darlene De Beaulieu October 7, 2022 at 12:14 PM Hello Happy Jack, i do not like these people who think they are always right.

L Milton Hankins October 7, 2022 at 9:13 AM 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. Jack Ellison October 7, 2022 at 9:30 AM Blood pressure! Know what you mean Milton! Thanks for the FAVE!!!

R J. Elless October 7, 2022 at 6:01 AM Jack that sure as heck isn't me. I only keep what I need and can only remember half of that! Keep rolling. Howard Jack Ellison October 7, 2022 at 6:19 AM 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...

John Lawless October 7, 2022 at 5:52 AM 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 Jack Ellison October 7, 2022 at 6:14 AM 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!
