My wife always says,
"I want it done perfect."
I've been keeping all the cars running,
fixing everything in the house,
Inside and out.
Very seldom need mechanics or
repairmen.
I've been doing this for years,
I'm a do it yourselfer almost in tears,
because I'm tired,
tired of getting my hands stuck in
tight places on my cars,
tired of bolts that suppose to come off,
but won't,
tired of working my azz off to keep things going.
I've been working my azz off
every since I was ten years old,
been responsible as they say.
I'm a jack of all trades,
master of none,
but I get the job done.
My wife knows this,
she's knows of my abilities,
even my hostilities.
but she never quits reminding me,
that
"she wants it done perfect."
Personally I hate the phrase,
don't even want to hear it please.
Some people are highly critical,
and stupidly political.
Nothings never good enough,
I heard this lady on talk radio,
critisizing the presidents speech,
she said he mumbles and
sometimes jumbles,
slurs his speech.
The presidents speaks good enough
for me,
I can understand his conversation,
maybe I don't agree sometimes,
but his vocal presence sublimes.
Maybe the presidents needs to serve
the perfectionist.
It seems to never end,
these people who don't or do,
always trying to hurt others feelings,
because of their perfect dealings.
It's a known fact,
and too me it's exact,
human beings aren't perfect.
But you better get ready to serve their perfection,
or get some type correction.
We all should do the best we can,
we're only woman and man,
men and women of meat,
we have to eat,
then we all sit on the seat.
I ignore my wife and her,
"I want it done perfect."
I do to my satisfaction,
then get ready to serve the perfectionist with,
kiss my grits,
just kiss my grits,
or
do it you darn self.
If I'm at work I serve my boss,
do my best,
so I won't get the toss.
Others if you're not dishing out any dough,
your aZZ has got to go,
where I don't give a cluck.

LOL. Now, I get it. All we can do is our best, and if a person makes a typing error or accidentally forgets to put in a comma, it does not deserve a lower rating, nor does the author or the writing deserve any nasty remarks. The same goes for those fix-it jobs we do every day at home or at work. We don't want others to take us for granted. It is nice to hear kind words, a thank you and to feel appreciated.
In some sites, people want other readers to mention their errors so they can edit or if in their novels they tell, instead of show, it is good to show them how much better it reads when it is shown. I usually don't rate a writing lower if it has a good message, has kept my attention, or is entertaining. A typing error, a missing word, or a missing comma doesn't make the writing less deserving of a good rating.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your poem. You explained it well.
Best wishes always,
Patty
