Childish Things

Best to sing this one - think Julie Andrews...

High-maintenance drama and braying jackasses

Sensitive egos as fragile as glasses

Treacherous villains and kid-bickerings

These are a few of my least favorite things

 

When the tide turns, when the words burn

Over the foul line

I simply refer to these childish things,

And then I don’t feel so fine

It's so funny I just have that childish things "yesterday". Thanks God it's over. Today is a new day.

Nice poem, Rita. :)

I love the author's not, not like we don't know what prompted this! And believe me you don't me singing, that would certainly not make this an entertaining read! As usual, you always get to the nitty gritty in your own unique diplomatic way Rita...I'm going to refer to you as the Ambassador Extraordinary from now on!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! I like that title! Just trying to toss out another perspective... Thanks, Frieda!

and sometimes people on poetry sites who fling words at others to hurt them, it's everywhere like this...we all bicker like kids sometimes...and we should know better...okay kids, recess is over.

[Rita L. Sev]

True that. I hear the bell ringing, too.

[Jack...]

This was definitely the sound of something...but it seems the music was slightly out of tune. Very cool Rita. I sang this and it was fun.

[Rita L. Sev]

Been humming it all day (think I'm driving my husband crazy...) Thanks, Jack!

[David Scott]

Ha!
Yes. I think it sings well.
Maybe try, *I simply ingnore all these childish rants, and then I can write my song.*
Way to stay posative!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! I like that! Thank you, David!
