Our lives can be very difficult <br />We struggle every day <br />Schedules that we must complete <br />On track we try to stay <br /> <br />Everywhere we go there is <br />Someone who makes us frown <br />But if you get out into the world <br />There are people all around <br /> <br />And they do irritating things <br />We cannot get around it <br />They are messy and so sloppy <br />They chew tobacco and they spit <br /> <br />Clutter is one I constantly notice <br />Absolutely everywhere I go <br />There are garbage cans, folks <br />That makes life cleanly flow <br /> <br />They talk too loud on cell phones <br />Oh, just shut up I want to shout <br />But of course I just walk by <br />Those bitter words I can’t let out <br /> <br />So we go about our daily lives <br />With our anguish and strong beliefs <br />Yes, we sure do have our own <br />Annoyances and pet peeves!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pet-peeves/
