Bad Temper
Many seem to have a volitile disposition;
it often shows up in sports;
easily frustrated by competition;
losing; puts them out of sorts.
Bad tempers are also displayed by drivers;
you’d best stay out of their way;
they’re frustrated red light survivoirs;
who always have something to say.
How did such disposition ever come to be;
appearing soon after they’re born;
if they’re blocked in; and they want to be free;
they’re certain to lay on their horn.
Our temper relates to our state of mind;
especially when one has the blues;
the best to describe how temper’s defined;
someone has a short fuse.
Most stay away from those with a bad temper;
they’d rather remain all alone;
saying, “It’ll be a hot day in December;
before I’ll come to your home!”
Most all of us; show our temper sometime;
coming when no one expects it;
only the humble exude peace, sublime;
while the tempestuous one rejects it.
Bad temper is contrary to the Master’s will;
with tears; God looks down from above.
Us prodigals would give the Master a thrill;
by replacing bad temper, with love.
