Not Always Feeling It

by Wayne Wysocki

I don't mean to anger or jar you,
But you've hit on a pet peeve of mine;
To answer your question, "How are you?",
I'm required to say, "I'm just fine".

Cigarette butts tossed to wind.
Planet earth seemingly one big dirty ashtray.
A simple question of respect.
Also major cause of 'accidental' forest fires.

Crossing the Pet-Peeve Line

****-retentive 
stick up the ass
over-reactive
over-dramatization
over seemly unimportant 
irrelevant issues seemed to 
always be the response to 
crossing over the pet-peeve line
that had been created over time

Preacher's Pet Peeve

There was a man whose name was Mr  Loud,
he preached humility with his head bowed,
He was quite the preacher,
with a unique feature,
He was so humble that it made him proud!


inspired by Carolyn Devonshire's poem "Impounding Ego"

Premium Member My Pet Peeve Is Selfish Greed

my pet peeve is 
selfishness
taking it all
not sharing
hoarding
being greedy
squirreling it away
in a mean way
letting it rot
not caring 
that others don not have
Not caring that many
starved or went without
because your goal
was to have more than enough
for yourself
so now you gloat
you have won
But have you?

The Peeve Chamber (Pt. 2)

Yes, it was love, and life, and happiness,
That's the aura, to this day...
There were even T-shirts made,
To honor it, and all it meant...
Torn down for cheaply made condos...
It lives on in me forever-
And, I'm sure, in many, many others
In heart, never to be destroyed,
Come what did, or may,
Yes, it lives on forever...
And I prefer it much that way,
And for now,
That's all I've got to say!

Shaggy Dog Story

Friends, humans, country bumpkins, bend me your ears; 'tis too true a tale I tell thee here... Once upon a time, knew a girl who owned a mutt but she did exclaim, 'It's the cutest pup you ever did see,' all the same, it seems to be asinine to give a dog a bad name but it's not the worst her canine could receive, it wasn't cursed when she called her pooch, my pet 'Peeve'.

Pet Peeve

Last night, I dreamt I was a parrot.
I spent my days in a cage and my nights in a rage
And all I could ever say was what I’d been told.

Every few weeks, when there was company,
and the doors and windows were surely locked
The man would let me out

And I’d fly into the kitchen cabinets and those hard-to-reach places,
and sing the words he’d never been proud of

Until I was in his grasp
and in my cage again.

What a nightmare.
