Pet Peeves
I find that the kind of people that list off their pet peeves
are the kind of people around whom it is difficult to breathe.
In so many words they seem to say ''Everything revolves around me.''
Who cares if you don't like the way people stir their tea?
Can you imagine standing in front of a king, him handing you the kingdom keys
as you list off all your pet peeves?
Its not the proper time to say you don't like snapping of fingers,
when he has all the power in the world to put your neck through the wringer.
Yes, to God above and most around us, we are each but a speck
if you're to ask someone to change, you're apt to hear ''Like Heck!''
So let's all push our dislikes aside
And like what we like and be satisfied.
