Poetry: Pet peeves

My Ode to things that drive me mad

Irksome drivers that cannot merge
Slowing when they need to surge,

Teenage boys and their baggy pants
Okay by me, not a chance,

Pretentious people and their snobbery
Taking up my time is like theft, robbery,

Smart folks with no common sense
They don't get the jokes, they're too dense,

Store clerks that ignore me
Like the invisible man they cannot see,

People on their two-way phones blaring
Of their dinner plans, I'm simply not caring,

Extremely obese people dress provocatively
Oh God, please cover up that belly!

The dumbest commercials ever devised
Those advertisers are greatly despised
Their products, I will NOT buy!

More and more pet peeves everyday
I'd need a notebook to fill to have my say!

    Please, Say Please

    A bump on the arm by a busy passerby,
