Don't You Hate It When...

A Poem About the Lovely Moments in Life

By Zachary Marshall IveyPublished 4 years ago 1 min read
This is Steve. He just got home from town to get toilet paper... He bought ten other things instead.

Don't you hate it when you're watching your new favorite show, but didn't realize it was the final episode of the season;

Don't you hate it when that season cliff hangs without a good reason;

Don't you hate it when you stub your toe especially in the dark;

Don't you hate it when it hurts so bad, but it doesn't even leave a mark;

Don't you hate it when someone points at something and says "Hey LOOK";

Don't you hate it when it turns out to be a book;

Don't you hate it when people wait in line, and stand way too close;

Don't you hate it more when it's people who refuse to breathe through their nose;

Don't you hate it when something says it's free, but it isn't;

Don't you hate it when it cost thirty dollars in order to ship it;

Don't you hate it when you're trying to say, "my fault";

Don't you hate it when it comes out as nonsense like, "my baault";

Don't you hate it when life gives you lemons instead of sweet tea;

Don't you hate it when it's obvious you'd rather have wine and cheese;

Don't you hate it when something is over that you never wanted to end;

Don't you hate it when it was something you had to pay for to attend;

Don't you hate it when you're eating something delicious, and bite your lip;

Don't you hate it when it's really hot salsa that your eating on tortilla chips;

Don't you hate it when you're on a roll with a poem of moments you hate

Don't you hate it when you have to go, because of something bad that you ate;

-the end
