So I got another e-mail today
About some kid who has cancer or is missing a leg or something,
And, somehow, her e-mails can be traced,
And she can get paid
So she can have her tumor removed, or her leg reattached,
Or whatever.
I saw another Japanese car today with an American flag on it.
I mean, it's like people are saying,
"Damn, I love my country,
Just not enough to support its economy."
Oh no, another e-mail about how much Jesus loves me,
And I'm supposed to bother everyone in my address book about it.
Saying prayers is bad enough,
But you expect me to annoy all my friends with typed ones, too?
I heard on the news today about some fat-assed people
Trying to sue a fast food restaurant.
Um, yeah, tubby, it's their fault you have no willpower.
If I hear another France joke I'll scream.
Weren't we the ones, after all, who didn't help
When Germany invaded them?
We sat on our asses (which is understandable,
Our President was in a wheelchair, after all)
For two years until the Japanese
Bombed a couple of boats in Hawaii.
If we had entered the war earlier,
Imagine how many lives would have been spared.
And is anyone else sick of the commercials
They're showing at the movie theaters now?
If I wanted to see that I'd have stayed at home.
Apparently it's worse to lie about oral sex
Than it is to lie about sending our youth to die.

This made me laugh out loud! We all have our little pet peeves, little things we hate, and this summed yours up perfectly!!!
The one thing I REALLY hate is when you ask someone something and they give a stupid grin and go 'ahhh...that would be telling'.....well of course it would be telling, thats why I asked you the question!!!!!!! Doh!!! -
I need to set up a normal email account instead of only using this University supplied address and enjoy the wonderful world of spam.

I agree with vampira1665. Whoever added the commercials really is a fucktard. lol. I love that word. Anyway, this is really great. These piss me of too. Keep it up!

Jeez you don't beat about the bush do you? Although it has to be said, there are some great reflections in this. A lot of people will agree with this now you've said it, but far less would have the balls to write it. I applaud you iron balls! X

I almost feel outta my chair. That was soooo wrong but so right. Simply priceless. And who ever the Moron is that decided to add commercials at the movies it a fucktard. Commercials are only good when you need to pee or get more drinks during the football game otherwise don't bother me. Enough said!

I hate those stupid e-mail chain letters! You left out one that I happen to get all the time...those "If I am your friend, then you must send this back crap." I always get those things from the SAME 3 people in the SAME day usually...it's like geez come on, don't you see my name on that list? So don't send it to me, it's just junk mail. I hate the fat people thing too, I'm not a size 2 that's for sure, but I would never consider suing anyone over my body - it's my own damn fault. Oh...and who really believes that they'll send five cents for every time a stupid e-mail is sent anyway? Morons. (The only thing that tops that is the one that refers to Bill Gates giving away his money to people that forward crap...like that would EVER happen!) This was such a pleasure to read. (Sorry for ranting about the stuff I hate LOL)

I so understand where you're coming from and these things piss me off too. Especially the fat people things.

These things piss me off too! Good write here.. Not exactly a poem form, but an understandable form. I guess poetry is your own expression, so it is a poem in its own right. I feel for you! Good luck with my contest...
