Spontaneous Reaction

delicious chow
    a dog's bow-wow 

  juicy worm so sweet
    a robin's tweet

  a lover betray
    a horse's neigh

  an ill-timed kiss
    a snake's loud hiss

Spontaneous reactions like an ill timed kiss can produce another reaction of irritation.... that also is instant, spontaneous and unpremeditated .....!

Irritation and aggravation, I'd say. Thanks, Valsa
