Things That Annoy Me

I reckon you could call me an old curmudgeon but that's alright! I've been around four score and three and I have earned that right! There are many things that annoy me but I'll mention just a few. Hang in there with me as I attempt to get across my point of view! Barkin' mutts and their inconsiderate masters drive me up the wall! The droopy-poopy pants kids wear just makes my wrinkled hide crawl! Cussin' in public by so-called ladies and gentlemen is so uncouth! It annoys me that high-profile jerks don't set an example for our youth! It nettles me when someone says they'll do somethin' and then they don't. I'm annoyed with people who keep me waitin' which is usually their wont! Careless drivers bug me especially jerks who think it's cute to tailgate, And telephone solicitors who the serenity of my castle they desecrate! I'm disturbed about those who flout the Constitution - 'tis an abomination! It bothers me that we don't ask God's guidance for this troubled nation! Pompous bureaucrats annoy me no end with their paucity of breedin'! It rankles me to pay more taxes for which the guv'mint is ever pleadin'! I ain't got no patience with a screamin' brat or a loud-mouthed dude, (Nor people who murder the English language as I just did - it's so crude!) I could ramble on and on ad infinitum about things that annoy me, But I feel my blood pressure risin' so I had better let the subject be! Robert L.
