This Is Not A Rant

This is not a rant; I have said this before now

I would like to hear an audible reply when I speak to you

I would rather not repeat myself over & over

Mumbles and animal-like grunts won’t do

Once said is enough if you are wise


This is not a rant; don’t say you were not warned

I ask a question and you draw a blank

I can’t remember us having a fight

So I enquire if I was in soliloquy

Beware, no one plays that game better than me


This is not a rant, nor is it me being wild or impassionate

Absentmindedness is not a state of mind; it is a state of no mind

If you can get lost in your thoughts, so can I

Even children call out salutations, & you are not a newborn

I will not say this a third time, I will soon tit you for your tat


This is not a rant; and should not be seen as one

I detest it when you act like you are been cheated

We are two variables & this is not an equation

You will learn to do it yourself or pay the price

Forget your tears; it won’t help you this time


This is not a rant; I will not say it again

Anonymous said...

this is not a rant, this is a non-rant dripping with pure, unadulterated, patronising condescension, undermined by cool calm logic against the world's irrationalities. this is not just any non-rant. this is a baroque non-rant.

(Assuming you've seen the M&S food ads)

NoLimit said...

Okay so you had a quarrel with this babe and she's grunting back in response to your questions and hardly saying hello to you and this time around...her tears won't work innit?
Easy bro!!!

Afrobabe said...

Dam, I hate it when guys get like this…baby can't you just continue the age long tradition of begging whether it's your fault or not? Can't I be the girl with mood swings who knows her guy will know when to stop asking and just grab her? Can't I be the one you pull to you and say whatever it is not my fault??

Baby remain the man I knew and fell in love with…don't be impatient!!!

Miss Natural said...

lol at rant-esque...this is pure frustration.

~Sirius~ said...

O-K!

This is not a rant.

She's getting to you.

Be easy...

Speak to her in a language she understands (and be patient)....:-)

We are complex creatures.......

Buttercup said...

bArOquE said...

NaijaScorpio said...

This is most definitely a rant!!!!

CaramelD said...

The fact that it is a logical non-rant scares me more.

ManCee said...

Beware the wrath of the Baroque
Though your folks call you their child
You should not behave like one
We are two variables & this is not an equation
Baware the wrath of the Baroque-
Master of the Tit-Tatting

- The BaRoQuE has spoken.

Shubby Doo said...

LOL...i dunno what else to say but you've stated your peace...very clearly...

bArOquE said...

~ibiluv, you can say that again

~shubbyDoo, well, it depends on how you see it...i'm not sure its a win or loose kinda game (assuming its a game)

Shubby Doo said...

Assuming it is one then I suggest that u don't play... I've always thought if u as a lover and not a fighter... so baby stay calm and keep on walking away from this with the dignity of the man that I know u are..

"Absentmindedness is not a state of mind. It is a state of no mind"- That line is so Baroque-ish, lol. I will have to steal " I will soon tit you for your tat". Love the non-rant rant!
