Patience

Xmas

By Vicki LucasPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I’m looking for my patience, wherever could it be..?

I’ve checked behind the cupboard ,and under the pissing tree

I really blooming need it, people get right on my wick

Every single one I’ve seen is acting like a dick!

I just don’t have the patience, to cope with all of this

Kids all acting hyper, people taking the piss

So I really need my patience, I can’t even calm my words

I’m even getting pissed off ,with the out of tune song birds

So to tolerate the stupid, illogical and dumb,

To tolerate the idiot talking right out of his bum

To tolerate the panickers and naysayers alike

To tolerate the Xmas songs and those bloody Xmas lights

I really need my patience, it can’t have run away

I’m pretty sure I had it, at some point yesterday
