Cynics

Cynics really bug me They annoy me no end They're always quite willing Their point to defend It doesn't hold water With this big happy soul I look on the bright side My only life's goal They're always unhappy What a horrible life I'd hate to be married To a lifetime of strife Why can't they see There's a big world out there That don't give a hoot That don't really care These cynics they travel Down paths filled with angst Oblivious to others Not this guy, no thanks Cynics they bug me They annoy me, my friend You can count on this dude To resist till the end © Jack Ellison 2012

"They're always unhappy What a horrible life I'd hate to be married To a lifetime of strife" well said and agreed! Yeah, cynics can sure be draining! Keep resisting my friend. Always, Laura

I know of a couple personally... it's almost impossible to see the positive side! SAD

My Dad starts making a point and we lock horns on opposite sides till one walks away... We're two bulls in a china shop... Hey, that might make a great poem... LOL

If there wasn't love between you, it wouldn't matter. The fact that you lock horns strangely signifies love and that you care! A bit of philosophy from an old duffer!

Being a cynic is a total waste of one's life! Thank you, my friend!
