You have some nerve, telling me how I feel
I might be in search of urine relief
When I listen to, your 'know it all' spiel
I am not in the mood to hear your grief
You cannot deny that you have been wrong
Sometimes you cannot tell the day from night
And yet you keep talking for far too long
You will rue the day, I leave you, I might
Yet all of the others, they act the same
There set in a row are all their new toys
Tomorrow the truth, with no one to blame
Just open your mouth, the wind will make noise
You should have studied to be an actor,
Than to depend on, the wind chill factor
Author notes
I hope that you appreciate the way I backed into: You 'bunny' me off. Meteorologists are my pet peeve.

I commented before, but I'm glad you added this one to my contest. An excellent rant!

I think we should blame that Dr Spock for all our smart kids now fully grown and puffed with (because I can) good peeve on the subject--rhyme and rhythm.= not forgetting the back-up

Very strong write, I know these kinds of people oh so well and I feel your angst against this one. I liked the last two lines very strong yet very humorous also. Thanks for sharing and keep writing.

omg and here are the words that spin through my mind you have written the words I've longed to spat at more then a few. well written strong and powerful deep and to the point I loved this piece I can relate all too well.

Okay, this is down right eerie. Have you been reading my mind, sir? Because these have been my thoughts near to verbatim. The humor I get from this is that familiar, flat out disbelief that this person can be so completely blind and deaf to their own foolishness. Can this person truly believe that he/she is such an amazing mind reader and the final authority on everything? I love those first two lines. The only technical thing I'd mention is that in my humble opinion, you don't really need the comma in the couplet. Those two lines are really good, though.
