The Rant
A "rant" is a rant,
He'd always believed,
But the old man's "suggestions"
Caused the girl to be peeved.
"I was trying to help,
A suggestion my dear",
But she just didn't get it
Or just didn't hear.
"Your suggestion I call ranting
And we just can't have that.
Big deal, you're a Member;
Here's your coat and your hat."
"It wasn't a rant"
The old man replied
"My suggestions still stand
I have nothing to hide".
His list of suggestions
Had fallen on deft ears.
He folded the paper
And wiped off his tears.
Into his pocket
He placed all his "rants",
Now no one can tell
He had rants in his pants.

Well, a few days ago I suggested a few changes to a DA Group I "was" a member of. It prompted me to write this poem. Actually, I felt like Adam Sandler when he asked the flight attendant for a headset in the movie "Anger Management" and they end up using the stun gun on him. 
I believe it was Groucho Marx that said, and I paraphrase . . . .
"I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member."

This is hilarious, in that sad, confusing "Anger Management" sort of way. Preach on.
