Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I cope with commercials 
that sit on my head, 
that wallop my westerns, 
and leave them for dead. 
They shoot me and loot me 
till I go to bed. 

I scream at a stop light 
that steps on my brake, 
that raises my hackles 
till knucklebones ache. 
They turneth me into 
a coiled rattlesnake. 

I hate when my hamburg 
is freckled with fat. 
What does "extra lean" mean? 
Is it idle chitchat? 
I'll be giving the grocer 
a crisp caveat. 

I abhor dirty dishes 
piled high in the sink, 
or when morning coffee 
is too cold to drink, 
or when my dear children 
push me to the brink! 

I detest barking dogs 
when I'm trying to snooze. 
Discourteous crows 
also fail to amuse. 
Perhaps I'll reserve a 
Caribbean cruise!
