Why are petty things
so irksome?

We pride ourselves
on having
a modicum
of decorum
tolerance and
understanding

Yet and until
some small thread
is nit picked
away from us

creating a
lumbar dislocation
in a dromedary

and we flip out

Pet peeves
lie dormant

Waiting for
their buttons
to be pushed

They wait for
perfect storms
of irritation
situations
to unleash
their beasts

gnashing of teeth
unintelligible grumbling
accelerated into a
grit toothed roar

one of my quirks of irk
is a habit of my daughter
whose untimely birth
has made her a teenager

Her body is slim and lithe
and oft is wont to occupy
my recliner

I’m willing to share
It’s only a chair

But she leaves the darn thing
all laid out and back
and there is a knack
to folding it up
if you’re not in it

And wouldn’t you know
every time she does it
I swear
(and then)
I promise myself
I’ll have her
put it back
again

Ironically
she is
“otherwise occupied”
and I’m not
willing to wait
on the lil’ stinker
just to sit in my chair

So by now
I’m sure you’ve guessed
what happened when
I bent over my recliner
to pull it upright
so I could sit

But upon standing
I noticed “things”
were tight a bit

Oh my gawd,
I got my panties
in a wad

Yeah. I saw that coming, i.e., from the title. You are so adept, Lori, at giving your poetry, whether it be romantic, dark, or humorous, your "Lori" quirks. This one, which had me smiling and chuckling aloud from time to time, is proof of what I say. Enjoyed!

I'm sure my daughter won't appreciate this quirk as much as you Jerry. Nope. Not at all.
Forget spanking, forget grounding, forget using guilt trips. I say go with good old fashioned passive agressive embarrassment!

Likely a sight better than a plumber's crack.

You documented it all fit and proper with an extraordinary climax.

It's probably better not to wear any panties if you have teenagers. They are always in a wad.
