Obnoxious Willie

Willie is a worry-wart who

Whines and wiles away his day

Making matters miserable in 

Messy, muddled, mocking ways.

 

Carry on, you cranky critter,

Gripe and groan and bellyache

Until you make the masses moan

Bleeding green for distant shores.

 

Must you be so damned contrary?

Moving in concentric counter-clockwise

Circles, opposite of

Every other point of view.

 

Who made you the center of

The universe? The oracle?

The last, the first, the only word

Authoring authority.

 

No one wants to hear your humor.

No one dotes your droll display.

If we’d only seen your smoke

We would have run the other way.
