Irritated

I've thought about it quite a bit.
Just what could get me in a snit?
I'm sometimes sad and often glad,
But seldom can you make me mad.
Road rage does not apply to me.
I follow the rules, let others be,
Take no umbrage at another's rudeness,
I smile and over-look his crudeness.

Though when my files have been defiled
By a virus, that can get me riled.
I'd like to be the judge and jury
Of the fiend who put me in this fury,
By causing me this grief and pain
For the fun of it or his own gain.
I'd throw him in a cell to stay,
Lock the door and throw the key away.
If that's not punishment enough,
I'd open his files and spoil his stuff.

Now that would cross the hair on my bunns for sure...lol I take great displeasure in having my files tampered with in any form but especially by the misforunate chance of viruses running amuck and shorting out my system. I'd like to take a baseball bat to the one that was stupid enough to have hacked into it.... grrr This is a great entry to the challenge I wish you the best of luck. God's Love and Many Blessings, Always, Adell
