Intrusive Toe Nails
Yelling their displeasure, my toenails kept me awake
Angry at how I was not trimming them
We are ragged and thick! We are jagged, not ripped!
They chastised me to hell and back. Have they quite flipped?
I promised I would do better if they would let me sleep.
They called me names like idiot, moron, and big creep.
I got up and trimmed them so low, they were now crying.
Walking on them felt excruciating, I was now dying.
I guess that by trying to teach them a lesson, I learned one instead.
Sometimes I am impulsive, do not use my head.
The next time they wake me up, here is the deal.
I am going to grind them all off with a power saw wheel.
