The Airing of Grievances

 My invitation to vent got a lot of responses!

Craig's complaint is environmental:

Climate change Christmas:
Forecast for the twenty-fifth is
Sixty degrees … Grrrrr.

No Christmas sweaters,
no cold, no snow, no pond ice
no fire in fireplace!

As is his fellow Virginian, Desiree's (at least in part):

I sit through a half
hour of ads, previews. There
oughta be a law!

Please don’t explain your
diet choices when you see
no meat on my plate.

We’re seeing wacky
weather changes everywhere.
But sure, it’s a hoax.

You don’t vaccinate
yourself, so my mom gets sick.
Thanks, you’re a giver.

I hear you, anonymous:

My final exams --
RIDICULOUS EXCUSES!
What is wrong with them????

And Christine:

My blood is boiling
The Trump Kennedy Center?!?!?
Break his auto-pen.

And this anonymous entry is right on:

Stop the mass shootings!!
Now is time for peace on earth
We all want to live.

And Desiree again:

Dang! Lost my wallet
thanks to those puny pockets
in women’s blue jeans.

And another anonymous:

Not as lovely as
A clementine but orange
Passions: war, hate,self.

And finally, IPLawGuy took the instruction to examine "venting" quite literally not once:

A fire will not burn
Unless set up with venting
Oxygen is key.

Not twice:

The risk of a fire
In the kitchen can be high
If stove does not vent.

But three times:

In the winter months
My dryer vent puts out steam
from side of the house.
