Ticks
Location
For the past half hour, I've thought 'What makes me tick?'
To whom it may concern, be warned, the answer won't be quick
My answer may be raw, I hope I don't offend
But if that is the case, in advance, my apologies I will extend
When it comes to pet peeves, in the top ten by far
Is watching someone you love ruin their life with a cigar
The sounds of cracking knuckles and loud eating are so gross
Especially when that person is leaning way too close
Republicans, some might call them men stuck in the past
I call them my fifth pet peeve, men with sticks stuck up their ass
My next is the belief that power seems to equate to greatness
And as a procrastinator, that being on time somehow equates to lateness
I feel my ire rise when I notice how kids of today speak
But when I point out that YOLO is not a word, I get called bleak
And am I the only one who's noticed there's a difference between your and you're?
Conversing with those that use 'like' a little too often can become, for me, a chore
I hate being lied to, and sorry if this is too blunt
But I am most annoyed by those who believe 'white lies' are any different'
I get annoyed with today's constant misuse of commas
And the fact that I seem to be the only one who remembers the double L in llama
I hate that the radio will ruin a good song by playing it until it's dead
And public places, so loud it's hard to hear what's in my own head
Pollution and litter are two things that I can't stand
And the National Anthem's false indication that we actually walk on free land
Self- claimed hipsters, homework, and flavorless gum
People who are really smart but choose to act dumb
Reality television, and rappers who claim to have loads of money
People who don't find my sarcasm funny
I hate that feeling of Deja Vu, we all sometimes get
Cheaters, stealers, and especially hypocrits
And no matter how impossible this last one just might be
My biggest is people who complain even worse than me
