Analysis of More Snippets FRom a Frustrated Brain
More Snippets From a Frustrated Brain
Gary Shulman, MS. Ed.
July 15, 2023
When you hold that heavy elevator door
And no “thank you” replies do you hear
Don’t you just want to boisterously exclaim out loud
“You failed kindergarten, didn’t you my dear?”
When you’re strolling along and just humming a song
On a trail blessed with flora and fauna
Aghast I become as some rubbish I see
Can’t we throw the culprit in a 200 degree sauna?
Welcome to my home, yes OCD I do have
Can’t you tell by the symmetry and order
Yet your shoes you leave on without a single qualm
GUILTY, you’re an inconsiderate marauder!
Is there ever an instance where rudeness is right?
Where kindness is a victim of rejection?
Perhaps a deep breath I must take right now
For life is never blissful perfection
So stop the complaints dear poet, old sage
For stress it will certainly engender
Much better to focus on the beauty we have
And all the joys to endlessly ponder
