I’ve been nice all my life,

And it hasn’t worked.

They say the definition of insanity is

To keep on doing the same old things

And expect different results,

So maybe now I’ll try

Being mean and nasty.

To the woman in the Cadillac 

Who honked at me,

Then quickly changed lanes

To get in front of me,

Only to have to stop

One block away

At the red light,

I’ll scream profane,

Call her a ‘bird brain,’

And flip her the middle finger.

And as I steam, I’ll think 

Of a stinger to reply

To the guy at the grocery mart

Who continually thinks it smart

To refer to me by, “Young Lady.”

Nobody got time fa dat shit.
