Too plain, too pretty
Too full, too empty.
Too big, too small.
Too short, too tall.
Too rich, too poor.
Too fine, too sore.
A constant interchange of
histrionic and catatonic,
a test and trial of long-held resentment.
Find a balance and make your point
before you exceed your quota
of angst-filled discontentment.

Too long, too short
To quiet a retort.

There once was a poet called Steve,
Who often talked about all his pet peeves,
He wrote down his stuff,
Then left in a huff,
But it rarely satisfied his needs.

Maybe Steve needs more time composing in the loo… 🙂

My poetry is composed in my head and butt. There’s a bit of heart in there, too 😉
