A Chip On His Shoulder
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

There are those who walk

With a chip on their shoulder,

Daring you to knock it off.

At times I was forced to do it.

 

Sometimes peoples egos

Get the best of them.

It can happen to anyone,

As we all have bad days.

 

Life is not all pudding and pie;

A bowl of cherries  so sweet.

The guy in the mirror sometimes

Can be Mr. Hyde in his cups.

 

Was Jack the ripper a nice guy?

Guess we will never know.

He sure was a killer

That much he did show.

"Don't walk around with a chip on your shoulder,
always spoiling for a fight". - Bible. Proverbs 3:30.
Some people carry a chip...never realize it...anger
builds up...so does negative mood...always ready to snap
at someone. Sooooooo, people go of the grudges.
