On My Last Nerve

Old curmudgeons who poke and prod Acting like they are always near to God, Having nothing of value to do or say Admonishing me to kneel and pray, Get on my nerves, and make me mad, And when they go, I’m awfully glad. I do not admire their toxic attitudes, These geezers who truck in platitudes To think you, hypocrite, know of love Your words do not come from above! Criticizing our country, those who serve I say to you, “You have some nerve!”

"And when they go, I’m awfully glad" This makes me smile.

Thanks, Michael. You got it! Some won't, I fear.
