Malcontents are contrary.
Praiseworthy comments
Find antithetic lamments
Filled with spite and bile.
If somethings are good,
It's understood,
They're twisting all the while.
They argue black and white,
Or night and day;
Wear blinders to other ways.
They just don't see the rainbow.
Every query has three sides;
Their's is there to despise;
Contrary to pluses
Of the other three sides.
How one pronounces the accent on the word, "contrary" gives it great meaning. As my mother used to say it in her brogue: "Don't be so contrary, you wee ****."
Hit that first syllable hard. Great word.
