Things Not To Like

[A short List]

Weeds, 
with roots reaching  for China.
Poison Ivy, 
hidden among the blossoms.

Wasps, 
perching above, to dive bomb 
as you walk through a door.

Mole runs, 
zigzagging across the lawn.

Socks, 
working their way downward, 
with each step.

Dogs,
who won't stop barking.
Wet dog smell, 
after a walk in the rain.
White pet hair on black slacks.

Unwashed bodies, 
camouflaged by perfume.

Shoppers,
who hold up the line,
while they go back for a forgotten item.

Chain smokers,
in closed quarters.

Back bumper huggers.

The price of gasoline.
