Hateful Things!
These things make me groan:
That letter from the tax-man
The halved maggot in my apple core
The heat wave with the broken fan
And my key, broken, in the door
Other things make me quite irate:
The cold silence in lieu of a fight
The unused ticket for the train I missed
The brooding female mosquito’s bite
That look you give, when I come home pissed
Some things I just cannot relish:
Three day dead fish
Those photos taken, as we were wed
That roach found in my soup dish
The night alone in our big bed
But these things I really hate:
The bigot and his monolog
The candidate at my door
Any man who kicks my dog
Or calls my wife a whore
I could list a great deal more
Adding hateful things to my long score
But what did I forget?
Which item will I soon regret?
Ah yes, the mother in law!
