Pet Peeves

How about when stores jack up their prices
Then reduce them and call it a sale
I've been on to these devious practices for years
Their attempt to bamboozle us has failed

Annoying commercials that treat us like morons
As if we're gonna fall for that stuff
Like if you brush with mint flavoured toothpaste
Your sweetie will greet you in the

My Biggest Pet Peeves

I truly loathe it when friends
keep their cell phones on when they are with me.
“I have to take this,”they say.
Why? Aren’t I important enough to pay attention to?

I also dislike it when people interrupt.
When it is finally my turn at the cashier
And some bully comes from the back
and demands their attention and they say
“Excuse me

Pet Peeves

A dog took a dump near the bench where I’m sitting.
The owner stood by ‘til his dog was done ting,
Then lazily did a poor job with his scooping,
Thus leaving the smelly remains of the pooping.

A breeze came along and the odor came drifting.
I tried with my body to block it by shifting,
Without any luck, so

Pet - Peeves

Everybody has them - whether they admit it or not.
Sometimes they're the same - as what others have got.
Whether it's a lack of communication - or not getting a word in edgewise.
Pretending to be someone you're not - being always in disguise.

Trying to get into - or staying in the popular crowd.
Straining to hear a

Pet Peeves and Passions

The future unfolds and it gets a little more clearer
We fell out of place the moment the mirror reflected our face
Your advice is not needed, so let my heart jump and let its joyousness appear
We are floating in a vacant space and we are losing life's difficult race

I know something's wrong with me
I know someone's

My Three Pet Peeves

Three things I hate most in life, 
And struggle in my fight and strife.
I hate to see people lie.
They say they can justify, 
For them lies have colors.
For me lies are bad manners.
For them lying is as easy as eggs.
For me lies have very short legs.
I also hate people with excuses, 
Though this will be

Pet Peeves

Here's some of my favourite pet peeves
Construction, potholes, and speed bumps
A bald person with a bad fitting hair piece
Or soup with unidentified lumps

Public washrooms that stink to high heaven
Or when someone sneezes nine times
People that pick their noses in public
Kids eating with their fingers full of grime

People making bodily function noises
On a bus, at a

Pet Peeves

Nothing pisses me off the most
than two Tom cats upon a post
tirelessly, persistently, crying
at three o'clock in the early morning.
A thing I'm not keen and tolerant of
class Aves defecators’ way up above
flying, flighty, feathery thugs
pooping on my Volkswagen bug.
You all may find these peeves ridiculous
but often I find myself defenseless
against meowing cats’ hysteria
and a flock

Pet Peeves

I find that the kind of people that list off their pet peeves
are the kind of people around whom it is difficult to breathe.
In so many words they seem to say ''Everything revolves around me.''
Who cares if you don't like the way people stir their tea?
Can you imagine standing in front of a king, him
