A grown-up in a hissy fit
Is something to behold.
I’ve always thought that as we age,
Such outbursts are controlled.

But sometimes people pop the cork
And let their rage explode,
So others get to witness them
In full-blown tantrum mode.

I guess it’s true that we regress
And lots of marbles lose,
But what a sight when someone old
Acts terrible as twos!...

Painful among pains is separation
that will throw yourself into desperation 
no matter the time of it
it's more harmful than a hissy fit
It's a kind of desperation 
Oh! A very painful situation 
Either it’s a two-legged man
that you have termed as human
or a four-legged man
that you tamed with humane
If it leaves once 
and never comes
pain remains in heart
and often saddens a lot

She is out of her mind her relatives said.
They wanted her embalmed, cremated or dead.
Lucinda had her wits and was not to be dissuaded.
She gave them all the boot, they were downgraded.

She had a dream, and intended to put it into action.
Wanted a gingerbread house to give satisfaction.
Builder and construction crew were happy to do it.
Relatives inheriting nothing had a huge hissy fit....

I have the tendency to fall for people like raindrops
on a stormy afternoon 

And I refuse to watch the news
It's the nonchalant route that I choose

No forecasts or predictions

because love isn't predictable now is it?

I'll remember that when I get hurt 
and want to throw a hissy fit again

But we either lose or we win 

It's the chance that we take
when we put all of our heart in...

Bookshelf was bragging a little bit
Plants love my shelves!
End table had a hissy fit.
observed by three elves.

Why do you brag like this? She angrily said.
Irritated because her orchid plant was terribly dead.

Bookshelf had a bit of a secret too.
Plants that loved him were the ones that do….
Like living in the shadows, no sunlight hue.

He did not help End Table, for she was not that nice.
She stuck out her drawer tongue, not once, but twice....

new dog on the porch
our pet cat at the window
shrieks like a banshee

Indignation hair-raisingly sounded
when our “queen” cat was more than astounded
by the new pet Dad brought
to the house. Cat wailed “NOT
on MY watch.” Then that poor dog she hounded.

our cat’s hissy fit goes down as the worst in her catdom’s hiss-tory.

Tit had a hissy fit and called tat fat
while tat apologized after the fact
tit kept egging him on with rude remarks
while tat used tact leaving tit in the dark

Tit called tat names all night and day
till she saw tat and their cat Tater Tot at play
tat said I would prefer not to play tit for tat
but would rather play tic tac toe with the cat

With that tit realized that tit for tat was a useless attack
finally forgiving tat for eating all of her tic tac's
