Pet Peeves

God save me from the builders
those cheery, cheeky bum's
expressive thumbs & fingers,
and their outlandish $ums
 
God save me from the rhetoric
on the metro each day,
and tinny god-awful musak
some moron needs must play.
 
And the uniformed workers
those if think think rank,
in jobsworth's hats and the clerkers
who view all as crank!
 
But God, especially,
save for me some wealth,
then I'll drink right merrily
to their collective health.
