My Tick List

Location

Top three things that makes me tick
I promise that this will be quick
I’m not that irritable but these made my list:

The sound that people make when they’re about to spit,
Ugh that sound makes me so darn sick!
They put their whole entire body into it,
Because the spit is that serious<--break->

The sound that people make taking food out their teeth
My father is the King of this tidbit 
I mean, I honestly cannot stand it!
Is there no tooth pick or dental floss around?
And please tell me you are not about to use your hand!

How people smack when they chew their gum!
Oh dear God this has to be my number one!
Their mouth is going a mile a minute
I can’t help but pray that their gum will soon finish<--break->

That’s really all that makes me tick
It wasn’t that long of a list
I told you I’m really not irritable
Except by people who talk real slow,
Or people who don’t know when to stop,
Or people who talk with food in their mouth
Maybe my list isn’t that short after all
Maybe I am that irritable
