This is a clever and creative response to the prompt, well done!
Do we all not love a good rant from time to time? This is well written with rhymes that breathe like air and create a tempo that allows the words to bounce down the page to their conclusion.
Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing.

Comment from royowen
I remember when I was a brand new believer, people would stagings like, "iron sharpens iron" while "Sister sandpaper" and "sister screwdriver" had prominence, so too did "brother sledgehammer" but all are necessary for the "ironing" out of one's patience, although doubtless we play our part very well too. Beautiful written, great poem, blessings Roy

Comment from lancellot
This is very nice. A great rant written with a poetic rhyming style. Great idea for the contest.
notes:
I have words for them too, but they're words I don't use.
If I did, you might say I'd have cooked my own goose.
- I would check the end rhyme here. use may have a different sound in this context.

Comment from irishauthorme
Wow, a real rant!
I feel the same way about some people, and this is the reason I do not belong to any organized groups, seems like they foster this kind of overbearing, know-it-all.
We live in a small town where some of the elected officials, given a smidgen of authority, suddenly let that go to their heads and they start exceeding their powers, advising everyone on everything, including their private lives. Big frogs in a small pond.
Good work!

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This bouncy rythm makes for a wonderful poetic story. As you yourself write, so appropriate to humoristic sagas (or short works). I was brought up on such delicacies as Albert and the Lion, and I deeply regret the descent into true prose. Nowhere near as funny. Well done and thanks. Kate xx

Comment from pome lover
very good! and so true.
Cute use of descriptive words. One, though - last paragraph, should be sickeningly.
Nice that you don't retaliate. What self discipline you must have - and manners! good for you.
Neat rant, and in verse! can't beat that.
Good luck in the contest.

Well, we have all known people Sandpaper People (I love your name for them). Your poem cites many good examples of what they say and do. Although I will never be a fan of AABB rhyming, I truly enjoyed your rant. Rod

Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The objective correlative of your work reminisces a rant on self-centered egoistic people.
The work highlights the protagonist's rant on their foray in various sectors of life and how the would sometimes constitute a bore on those, who helplessly patronise them.
The work earns its texture through its effective use of tact in its ranting.
Excellent work. Bravo.
