Complaining with results.

I’m not the sort of person who
Gets angry far too quickly
I’ll smile politely, nod my head
Agree and be quite sickly

I will not be controversial
Neither shouter nor a screamer
Not argue, but explain myself
In a calm relaxed demeanour

So please be understanding
Don’t think because I’m meek
I’ll put up with your flannel
It doesn’t mean I’m weak

So, should I lose my temper
You’d best get out my way
‘cos I won’t restrain my anger
And, this dog will have his day

    The meter need a little tweaking in the second stanza, but otherwise a terrific piece. Keep writing!

    Wonderful poem! It reminds me a little of myself, LOL! You make a great point as well, just because someone doesn’t get outwardly angry, doesn’t mean they have no problem with what’s going on.
