When a person talks hatefully about someone, <br />It's like giving them a present, <br />Shouting it from the rooftops: <br /> <br />Here is how little I think about you, <br />Here is more proof of my unkind treatment of you, <br />Here is the latest present, of my continual spitefulness <br /> <br />Wrapped with care in venom, which is upon my own hands, <br />A stain upon my own person; noxious fumes <br />To poison my own beings air..just for you. <br /> <br />To which you must reply with deference, Oh thank you- <br />And may all your beneficence rebound upon you, <br />Seventy times seven!<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-you-shouldn-t-have/
