hey...isn't that picture off center???
You don’t like what someone just now had to say.
It bothers you, you disagree, takin' umbrage; what the hey.
They expressed an opinion which seems awf’ly foolish to you.
You’re faced with a decision, just what are you gonna do?
Are you rantin' on the site? Are you gettin' all upset?
Are you ventin' at a comment…does it make you want to fret?
Are you yellin' at your puter… for what you view is such a crime?
Are you rantin' on the site? Are you wastin' all your time?
She said it you regret it …it shouldn’t be in print.
He repeated you’re defeated… why can’t they take a hint?
They're just so f'in' foolish; you'll confront them there and then...
You decided in an instant that you’d do battle once again.
Are you rantin' on the site? Are you gettin' in a blather?
Are you pissed off at a comment… even though it doesn’t matter?
Are you yellin' at opinions…is there someone else to blame?
Are you being just as ob-too-oose? Well ain’t that such a shame?
(cue great guitar solo)
Hey…that’s not a great guitar solo. I’ve heard great guitar solos and that’s not one of them.
Whatya mean, not a great guitar solo…it’s terrific…rivals even Page and Clapton.
Now wait a second…I’ve heard Clapton and that’s no Clapton.
What about girls…they play guitar? Just another mean misogynistic exclusion of women.
What women…you’re not a woman…
Whatya mean, he’s not a woman… he says he is…
I accept all women….
That guitar solo sucks
Are you rantin' on the site? Does it feel just like a crime?
You’ve got better things to do with your unencumbered time
Are you rantin' on the site? Drivin' admin quite insane?
Are you rantin' on the site? Bein' such a royal pain….
(Cue Dual guitars)
Hey…that’s almost as good as Boston!
Nah… Boston is so much better than that
I went to Boston once to go to a Aerosmith concert
That reminds me of a story… I’m in the Combo? Orchestra? Band?
Boys in girl bands dressed in cool miniskirts…wow
Wasn’t there a series once… a girl ranting on the site incessantly?
Yeah The Reluctant Complainer
Doesn’t sound so reluctant to me!
I think anyone who expresses an inflexible opinion is foolish….
I think you just made your own point!
Isn’t this where I came in?
(cue marginally acceptable dual guitars….)
The authoress admits to seeing herself in this musical mirror, and offers apologies to any and all whom she already may have pissed off!

What Have Rants Achieved For Me?
One author has 'shrouded' me.
I created great animosity between two authors who certainly didn't deserve it.
I inadvertently copied a rant to the person I was ranting about. Hurt feelings all around.
A great philosopher once said, "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they are frequently full of shit." My addendum to that is, "Be careful what you so easily release. What you think is just a bit of hot air may be far more substantive, and a lot more difficult to clean up."

Rantin', rantin', rantin'...
I was gonna rant in your comments, but that just ain't cool,
Rantin' in the comments would just make me feel like a fool.
Pissed off comment posts, but that Erin takes no guff,
Rantin' on the site, I always miss the good stuff...
A poet I ain't, but that was awesome, Auntie Drea.
Lisa Dani
Thanks Andrea...
I still think if someone says something hurtful, the rest should be allowed to point it out. But it's been explained to me that hurtful comments are just jokes and my replies are rants. And of course I believe what I've been told.
Am I sorry I ranted? No! I made two new very good friends, one on each side, and a third that I think will become a good friend in time.
Will I rant again? Well... But I will try to be more moderate and diplomatic.
Thanks for this!

We are each exactly as God made us. God does not make mistakes!
Gender rights are the new civil rights!
I love it!
It puts the silliness of rants in perspective.
Too good
great melody borrowing as ever and it is a damn fine solo... even if it was a 'soulless' session bloke, hah. Of course I'll have this song in my head all day now, but that's okay. Reelin' in the rantin....
Kris
Thank you ,'Drea,
Very clever,as always! But I didn't know that you played guitar,
I thought you only played a spinet ,or something,was it a tin whistle?
A great laugh,'Drea.
ALISON
This is definitely where I came in. LOL
Cute little rant, 'Drea. I have ranted time and again about a comment someone left that actually made no sense. But, I digress.

A Rant Is Better Out Than In
A good psychiatrist (if there is such an animal) will tell you that you shouldn't bottle up your feelings. Ranting is good for the soul!
