An Odious Work Poem by Timothy McPoetry

An Odious Work



Here are 100 things I can't stand...

Taking out garbage
Paper-cuts
Wet shoes
Cold, sweaty feet
Getting water from the sink splashed on your pants
Not knowing that the shower pin in pulled up
Clogged toilets at a friend's house
Slam Poetry
Puzzles with small pieces
Books with no pictures
Know-it-alls
Know-nothings

Oil changes
Shin splints
The fish getting off the hook
When your mono filament line gets cold and snaps
When the toilet paper goes back and under instead of up and over
Bubble gum stuck in my beard
Flat soda
When your pen runs out of ink
Empty containers in the pantry or fridge
Low quality chocolate
Skim milk
Liars
Words that are hard to spell

Disrespecting the American Flag
Terrorism
Bullies
When your firework doesn't explode
When a gnat gets in your eye
Ice cream cones melting on your hands
People that wear adult diapers because they play videogames too much
Chalk
Powdered sugar
Plain cinnamon
Poems that don't rhyme
Alter egos
Incomplete lists
