Thorn In My Side

That man is definitely a thorn in my side,
My anger I find I cannot hide,
It just takes the sight of him then,
To weasel himself under my skin.

I have no choice,
But to be irritated by the sound of his voice,
That loves to hear himself speak, speak, speak,
Asylum from him is what I seek.

The sight of him gives me a rash,
I see him coming I want to dash,
Away from him as quick as I can,
He is the world’s most aggravating man.

I try to turn the other cheek,
To find peace and be meek,
And complete my work and go home,
But his ego won’t leave me alone.

I am mad he has this effect on me,
I actually feel sorry for him you see,
Because what makes him such a jerk,
Is he has no life just misery here at work. 

Sometimes in life some people just don’t mix,
A thing that you just can’t fix,
It is something subconscious that isn’t right
That grinds your teeth and wants to fight.

The joys of work life. Retirement sounds so good against all the blabbing.
