Grandpa used to say
It's better to be pissed off
than pissed on.
I need to hear him say that
right here in the locker room.

That damn referee
that I punched
ejected me.
I flung my arms and gave him the finger
and stormed out, throwing a chair.

I've been pissed on
and will not put up with it.
I'd apologize,
but he flipped me off too
as I was leaving the floor.
And all I could do was laugh.

Concise, reminding me of an all too familiar feeling.

Write on, Fearless

I rather like the 'healthy' attitude - being pissed off, retaliating and not apologizing and still laughing when you get 'flipped'.

There's a robustness about it and honesty too. You admit hitting the ref!

Nice one Godfather. That's a gem from your Grandad! Referee's used to be the bane of my amateur footballing life, so I really can identify with this poem, although I never hit one of them! The last game I played, I was sent off, straight red card, for obstruction! I mean, what's all that about?

Nice works

Don
