Fed Up

I'm tired of 
  the preening
  the posturing
  the posing

I'm fed up with
  the pretending
  the petulance
  the pessimism

Time for a new mirror
  ~ or perhaps a new me

That tired fed up feeling hits us all like a brick wall from time to time. I guess we have to muddle through as best we can. Accentuate the positive or whatever it takes. You've nailed it with this short poem.

Wow, Gershon, I'd say it depends on who is doing the six p's....I can't think it would be you, frankly, because you're just not that sort of person.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Sure looks like I've pulled the wool over someone's eyes here, Milt; but I appreciate your faith in my (less-than-sterling) character. Beware the Wolf in sheep's clothing. ~ Wolfman
