Smart Ass

A question from a coworker:

How come you have to be a SMART ASS About EVERYTHING?

My response, in verse:

I am pollen to the allergic,
A bit of sand to an oyster,
A lit fuse to fireworks,
And a pick to a guitar string.

By my small irritation,
Beauty is manifested,
Reactions are intensified,
Life is lived.

If I failed this role
Think how boring work would be.
Embrace your reactions
There’s no need to thank me.
