In all honesty I don’t get along with many people <br />Especially those who measure time in dog years <br />Or those who name their cats after cartoon characters <br />I try to avoid without conflict people who are constantly happy <br />Because I’m not and I don’t wish to spoil my good mood <br />I don’t like to eat out in restaurants because most don’t serve lamb <br />And I like lamb, tender young lamb, with mint jelly <br />You go into an eatery and ask for lamb and you could be arrested <br />In all honesty I get pissed off when someone rings my doorbell <br />Because I know it is a Jehovah witness trying to convert me <br />And I was converted when I was eleven by a prostitute with an STD <br />I like war and I don’t say that just to be controversial <br />I prefer peace but without war there would be no peace <br />People get bored with peace and they start measuring time in dog years <br />And before you know it in the blink of an eye everything is old <br />Even peace… <br />In all honesty I don’t get along with many people <br />But old hound dogs and exotic birds seem to love me <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dogtime/
