Rant of the Day

it’s exasperating and makes my stomach churn there’s a brand new prejudice at every turn looking at others out of the corner of our eye all this nitpicking to try and find fault on the fly this pointless bickering has been going on for years people with floppy ears or those with itty bitty ears people with purple hair or those with locks of green people who dress up or those who wait for halloween people who are on their guard or those who feel and touch people who hardly talk or those who chat too much people who talk with an accent or those who laugh funny people who like their tea with lemon or those who prefer honey people who wear profuse makeup or those whose noses glow people who speed along or those who drive too slow people who walk on stilts or those sporting stubby legs people who skip breakfast or those who throw ketchup on their eggs people who dive foolhardy or those that do a bellyflop so yes ~ we’re all different, when’s this bickering all going to stop AP: 3rd place 2021 Submitted on February 25, 2021 for contest ALL YOURS (FEB 27) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

And how often I have found myself on both sides? In the end I must say, I just do my own thing come what may and try not to see the logs in my own eyes.

Heya Line Even if we where all the same, we would still be bickering, it’s just another one of those annoying unhappiness traits, unique to humanity, your poem flows well gathering steam as it goes, cheers David

Part of the problem is the ugly beast we call Political Correctness. It first reared its ugly head in the 1970’s. Today it is full grown and hungry. I seriously doubt it will ever go away. People are now so thin skinned to let it go. Loved the rant...we are all different. Good luck in the contest. John
