I Feel Better Already
March has just begun, yet already I tread its muddy waters
I hope, before it ends, I'll feel some ease; that's all that matters
Sometimes, unexpectedly, stress in one day gets to be alarming!
At every turn, so many buttons pressed, can be so annoying!
As for my Uncle Sam, it seems, I can never give him enough
I swear, we may need a ‘Robin Hood’ right here in this 'trough'
Banks keep my few dollars, and use it at will... for free
Then turn around and charge me for that, plus ...their keep
Heard from a “Fair weather” friend who only calls when in need
And sadly, my Parish Priest, always busy, couldn't hear my personal grief
No, not when my time conflicted with his board meet!
That new neighbor, the loud one, has become a “pain in the butt”
He never considers that others maybe sleeping, after hours in a 'rut'
Again, there were 'grown ups' who were fighting at a kids’ ball game
Displaying madness in the presence of watchful children...so insane!
Oh, not to forget, the driver who assumed he always has the right of way
Who after he turned, casually waived his hand, as if playing charades!
Enough said! I feel better already..now that I’ve had my say!
