My friends need to be left alone, but this poem is a rant. |
When a woman or a man Is warm, cozy, and content, They feel everything is a blessing Or truly heaven sent. There’s no miscommunication For what they might be saying, And when there’s room for serious talk, There’s just as much room for playing. But it always makes me wonder, What is making them laugh, My mistakes or blunders, Or their not-so-serious gaffe! I love a person’s resolve, Who’s kind, deliberate, and charming, Someone who can take a joke Without being so alarming. But the question that I sincerely believe Is worth the courage asking, Is what are you inevitably worth When you don’t bother tasking? Happiness revolves around A simple, well-paying job, Not being so peculiar, Or such a naïve slob! When men and women truly believe They are heaven sent, Miscommunication likely Makes them so Hell-bent. Folks don’t understand their needs For talking and for playing, And what they actually mean to say By words they are not saying. Getting fired upon routinely With a grave tongue lashing or two, Has them quite confused and bitter With no clue what to do. Maybe we should let them own Their meager wills and pride, And let them be themselves again, And hold our opinions inside. Because they don’t get the message Whenever I try to speak, That their fortune truly stinks And how their houses wreak. But I don’t try to change the people Whose enemies are their family; ‘Cause mine are not that close to me, And I can’t truly name any! |
