Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

Past Anger Issues

The older I get the less that I fret 
With my panties wadded up in a tizzy 
As anyone could see I used to be
A mini-me of Dizzy Gillespie

I'd huff and I'd puff when I'd had enough
Like some Big Bad Wolf  in a fable 
Then let it all fly as the steam in me would rise
Right on time, here comes Old Faithful 

No one hanging around at the bubbling sound
As it came close to the rim
No need to wait for the show, see you later gotta go
Afraid by flying debris they'd be hit

Thankfully those years are long gone as I've learned to calm down
Although I still have my moments
My family looks at me quite suspiciously
When I turn on the news at 6

Cheryl Hoffman August 26, 2017 at 8:12 AM Glad your able to manage anger issues better these days; I think a lot of us (including me) have to count to ten instead of going off the deep end and exploding like a volcano which makes things worse! Nice creative down to earth poem Mike!~Che :) PS Didn't know Dizzy Gillespie had a bad temper :) Mike Hauser August 26, 2017 at 8:41 AM Don't think Dizzy had an issue... He just puffed his cheeks out like his head was going to blow.. And it rhymed with tizzy! Lol!
