Little Nuisances That Got Me

Life’s nuisances nibble away at your grit

Interrupt your harmony and make you feel to quit

They show up untimely before your eyes

Then invite your wrath whilst eating up your smiles

Life’s nuisances are small but pack a mighty punch

Evasive and persistent they travel by the bunch

Notice how they converge with orchestral plan

Unified to halt successes before they were began

In fewer numbers they present a challenge at best

Solidified in their numbers they’re like an epidemical pest

All the shoe laces that break on your way out

Nervously late then a flat tire makes you feel to shout

Caught in a room with the doorknob in your grip

Elevators broken and the wet floor makes you slip

Shoe catches a pebble and there’s no way to sit

The corn caught in your teeth in an unreachable split

How about bird droppings on the windscreen

And folk never replying to hellos, and their conduct mean

Toiled all day but from your love ones, nothing is said

Gas effusing and the inconsiderate driver’s up ahead

Overfilled buses that never make your stop

The e-mailed chain letter that compels you to swap

Machines now answering when you need a human voice

Every one of them got me but thanks to God I now rejoice
