Aggravate My Tush

You really know how to scorch my shorts,

Rag my rotors, fray my flaps.

Such muddle-headed mutterings

Should bring a child to shame.

Your beastly, bonehead brandishings

Are biting at my heels until I

Feel the strongest urge for

Bashing bones, to slash and maim.

Were I not born to know restraint

You may have fallen hard already,

Punished with a caning stick

For crimes as yet unknown.

But you keep harping, grinding,

Grating, pummeling my patience with

A finely tuned persistence that

Can dig right to the bone.

Oh, please Lord, let my ears fall deaf.

Allow a blessed hush.

This mindless addle prattle

Only aggravates my tush.
