MOAN N'GROAN
Excuse me barely suppressing a groan
At yet another report of a "Me..Me..Me" moan;
And feeling the pangs of compassion fatigue
From these carping "isms" - as if in some league
Of who scores most points from achieving a mention
To move on ahead in the fight for attention.
With each utterance I recall that political gem:
"A period of silence would be very welcome" from them.

Thanks for the comments. gents. Am I alone in thinking
that we are increasingly prone to discarding the old
phlegmatic (British?) attitude to the slings and arrows of
life's misfortunes and resorting to communal whining instead?
