Losing Ones Temper…

How does one lose their temper?

Either you got it or you don’t,

If you do lose it, do you put an ad in the paper?

Offering a reward, if found return it to your emotional mind…

Hey mister I found your temper,

It was wedged behind a trashcan,

In an alley just below the window of your apartment,

Do I still get the reward, how much you offering?

Oh come on, its worth more than what’s in your glove compartment…

So the next time you feel like losing your temper,

Think about this poem and then you will remember,

How worthless it is to actually get angry or downright mad,

As when you do, you have to write out that newspaper ad,

Call the paper and put it in for the next day,

All this a waste of energy, better to deal with being mad,

It is easier that way, anyway…
