Misprononciation

One thing that drives me insane is when people do one little thing.
Whenever someone decides it's better to say Missoura,
Instead of Missouri.
Another thing that always has me ripping out my hair is simple indeed.
When people mispronounce a word on white paper
That has the way to say it right there.
One final thing that makes me go a little bit insane,
Is when I see kids screaming and crying in public. It makes me go,
"This is why parents need to beat their kids."

Author notes

This is only a few of the many things that drive me to murder. And yes the title is supposed to be spelled wrong.  I also commented on something. I just can't rememeber it.

    awesome

    Great,Alex! Loved it! But,when I see kids crying in public,and thier parent yells at them or hits them right there, I want to knock out cold the parent who hit them. I hate kids getting hit, it brings tears to my eyes. Kids scream and cry. That's thier nature. They can't help it. I know it can be fustrating, for I'm a babysitter. Also, when the kids are being hit by their parents, they will think it's OKAY to hit people. and do you want that? I sure don't. I think whenever a parents hits a child it is WRONG. PLAIN WRONG. I want to make a law against parents beating thier kids. I consider it abuse. Maybe I just feel this way because of what I went through in my household..(yeah, I was beaten by my mom)
    ANYWAY, good job, my fellow jedi. Keep on writing!

    I am very relieved the title is supposed to be mis-spelled. One thing I really hate is when people used adjectives as adverbs (as in "spelled wrong" in your notes.

    But I do agree: a badly behaved kid needs a good thumping.

    Very true- haha. My mom beat me all the time until I was 12 and I'm a great kid. My new stepbrother, his dad (my stepfather) doesn't believe in beating his kids and he's a spoiled brat. I definitely can relate. The moral is: beat the holy shit outta your kids before they turn into whiny, emotional, sissies, like my stepbrother.

    HIT IT RIGHT ON THE NOSE!!!

    I absolutely agree. I hate when people don't say words the way they were meant to be said. The friggin' dictionary does have the pronounciation broken down right there. Maybe I could understand saying it wrong the first time, but by the second time you should have the gist of it. I don't think parents need to beat their kids, but that timeout s*** doesn't work. Anyway, to make a long story short, good poem!
