Every dog has his day

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

Not shouter or 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

Every dog has his day

Enjoyed this one~~ just a suggestion, line four how about; agree not to be too picky? [something on those lines] "sickly" does not seem to quite fit here. Take it or leave it~ still laughing at the content! ______________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous
