Complain

Some, like nothing better than to complain

about allergies, sore backs, or slow lines.

They stress out over and over again

on anything from potholes to road signs.

They seem to think that the sun never shines.

I’m not a big fan of the bellyaching

from people who find fault with everything.

They remind me of the constant whining

of babies chewing on a teething ring,

when they’re not complaining, they’re reclining.
