THE NAG
I don’t like this.
I don’t want that
This is not fair!
That is not good!
Why did you do this?
Why did you do that?
What do you mean?
What does that mean?
Why not this? Why not that?
Answer now! Answer straight!
She nags about this,
She nags about that
On, and on, and
Day by day
She nags!
Angling for a fight
Seeking an outburst
Trying my patience
Troubling my mind
Distorting my thoughts
My peace, my health
With nags like her
Who wants a wife?
When loneliness’ a blessing
A place of peace.
I won’t hit the bottle
No, I will not
I won’t crave for women
Of easy virtue
I have a remedy
Simple and easy
I’ll bury myself
Deeper, and longer
With work, and art
A better companion
Is work, and art
And a better home
My place of work!

Thank all for your comment, @ OnoEdosio, thanks. I have tried my hands on rhyming, but I find out that to rhyme, you may have to distort your message a little (or alot). But I do have a collection of other rhymed poems. I have one posted on my blog. http://extramantra.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.htmlMy Conscience |

i'm not flattering myself. you have no reason to be so riled up or defensive. that was a cheeky comment earlier anyway. i don't care if you follow me or not. i actually have a lot to say but i would rather goof of instead.
yes since that is you in your picture, you should be flattered by my compliments.
