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!

Of illness, injury or death because you always use
That stupid phrase no

"Stop Chewing in My Ear!"
Why must you always call me
In the middle of a snack?
Please chew your cud, my darling,
And I
I have a major pet peeve and I think that you should know
You and your friends are talking and walking very slow
You clearly
