Don't you Hate it when...

Kevin Hulme

You're opening a Tin and the Ring Pull snaps:

The Telephone Rings when you're having a Nap.

Awaiting with joy a Billet doux in the Mail:

But there's Leaflets on 'Drainage' and a 'Great Carpet Sale'.

Going out for the Night with much Styling of Hair:

A Gale then picks up by the time you get there.

You think you're  'The Fonz'  they'll be Girls to Romance:

But it's Crazy Edward Scissorhands that arrives at the Dance.

Your seat in the Cinema is next to the Chump:

Who uses a Straw like a loud Suction Pump.

The TV Set blows ,  a Million to One:

And just before Poirot explains how it's done.

The Wife of your friend is Glamorous and Hot:

Yours Wife's like a Hobo and Belchers a lot.

The Reunion at School that shows life isn't fair:

When the 2nd Year Drop Out is a Thrice Millionaire.

You arrive at the Dentist and the Surgeon you meet:

Has the breath to fell a Rhino at 200 feet.

But of the great many trials in this strenuous old  life,

The kick in the Groin that causes much Strife- 

It's one of those Poems about the Things that we Hate:

Written by a Idiot who's easily Irate.
