Generally, they are a fearless bunch.
That doesn't mean that they are foolish.
Obviously, every species has a healthy fear,
for fear itself is a great survival mechanism.
This species I'm speaking of is alert and always
seems prepared to fight or take flight. He's not the
happy-go-lucky type. You have to earn his friendship
and give him due respect, never taking him for granted.
He knows what is rightfully his and doesn't mind demanding
the seat that you have occupied. He seems given to relaxation
and sleeps a lot, but that doesn't mean that he is lazy. For several
days I have with pleasure observed two of them on my property.
They walk together, sleep together, and keep each other clean. They
will work and earn their way. They are observant and know who to trust.
This species is not quick-tempered, but you do not want to push him around.
I have found cats to be very giving, but expect you to pay up when it is due.

In the heat of the moment you lost your dear friend
With that mean, nasty e-mail you weren't gonna send
You're so quick-tempered and course
Four wives filed for divorce
Your heated moments tore ties which won't mend

I’m a recovering Catholic
drug fiend and addict,
a drunk, a thief and ex-con,
musician, writer, half assed poet, and fighter,
a drifter, failed husband and father,
horrible dancer, an excellent cook, Atheist, well read and a scholar,
quick tempered, dog person, sports fan, crack shot, I'm also an excellent driver
a dreamer, jokester, gambler,
and friendly
Known to be lazy, sometimes a liar
Worked as a smuggler
too old now to do time
It's the reason that I've retired.

I arrived without clothes or fears at birth
but wore both within one year on earth;
in a crib, my self-esteem doubt blistered.
Since my initial vocal and mobile phase,
I played avoidance to eliminate critical
corrections that felt like imbecile rejections.
For two decades my fears fed anxieties
over disciplined, quick tempered males who
like my dedicated paternal man, could voice
wither my core sheaves in ‘less than’ wisps.
It took fifty rough years of soul aviation,
plus my faith’s aimed navigation thru
brutal life trajectories, to remind me
I have always been the perfect me blend.
Just here ‘till home again and fear’s but
an acronym: ‘false evidence appearing real.’
I am uniquely valuable, confident enabled
and I daily fear shed but, well – maybe I
should pen about bungee jumping instead?

rumbustious, quick-tempered and quarrelsome
turbulent and troublesome
redirect all that energy
and strive rather to be fearlessly awesome

The Way It Should Be
A poor man without knowledge aspires to expand and find what's normal. While the wealthy, corrupt pretenders and their misconceptions of reality will find no true satisfaction, for a soul without sympathy has lost all hope. Void of all compassion is the quick tempered man, who acts on impulse and foolishness, that leads to his disobedience before the Lord. For the discipline and righteousness will be given freely to those who chose to follow him despite the suffering. The upright and the gracious will be rewarded with all eternity. For the intent to understand and apply God's wisdom for which it's truly meant. Will leave even the most unruly hearts, full of sweet content

The ruffling of feathers,
And the snap of a beak,
The quick tempered woman,
Jumped back to her feet.
She soars over water,
Looking sharp for her prey,
With one on little movement,
She sees where it lays.
Down like a bomb,
She dives under waves,
She catches a fish,
Sends him to his grave.
She gobbles him up,
Like a wolf on a rabbit,
But his friends from the sea,
Just wouldn’t have it.
They jumped up to the sun,
And drug her to her fate,
Drown her in the water,
Where she caught her bait.
Now there is no reason to be afraid,
Of that quick tempered woman,
She is swimming with the fishes,
She got what was her fate.

Pastor, you're an under shepherd who has been entrusted to do God's work
you're never overbearing nor quick tempered nor do you have any quirks
you hold firmly to the trustworthy message that the Son of Man did convey
you're a spirit-filled righteous man, a disciple and teacher of God's ways
you teach and preach the sound doctrine that is the Holy Lord's
you're temperate and respectful with a Christ-like love for all in accord
you're self-assured and humble and your sermons are from the heart
you've given us insightful examples of how to live spiritually smart
you've told us it might be our attitudes and we probably need a makeover
you've been to us a living example in how to let God take over
you're an under shepherd, one of the Lord's earthly rep
you're an under shepherd, a follower in His Son's steps
you're an under shepherd, an agent of the living Christ
you're our under shepherd, Pastor Griffin
and we are blessed to have you in our lives
