I have a Little Problem
“I have a Little Problem” is a playful poem. It humorously explores the mischievous adventures of an unruly middle finger. It’s a lighthearted take on life’s unexpected moments!
I have a Little Problem
I have a little problem,
That shows up now and then.
It seems to have a life of its own,
With a sly, rebellious grin.It loves to make appearances,
In traffic jams or fights.
A single motion, swift and bold,
Can raise tempers to new heights.It doesn’t ask my permission,
It’s brash, defiant, rude—
Like when it waved at Grandma’s house,
And spoiled the Christmas mood.My middle finger has a way,
Of speaking loud and clear.
Its universal language lands,
Even on the deafest ear.But soon my trouble doubled,
A sight you shouldn’t see.
Its twin jumped in to steal the show,
And flipped in harmony.They’ve caused a stir at diners,
And once, in Sunday school,
They rose mid-sermon for the pastor,
And left me looking like a fool.They’ve waved at friends, strangers too,
That left me in disgrace.
Once, scratching at my itchy scalp,
They aimed right at my boss’s face!Now here I sit, unemployed,
Thanks to their rude salute.
Perhaps I’ll teach them finer tricks,
Like how to play the flute!David Ritter

These stand-alone poems were written over many years. Individually, they describe the conflicts linked to alcoholism. When read together, they reveal a more complete picture of the destruction, depression, and chaos of addiction. They also show the peace, hope, and joy of recovery. Most of these poems pertain to my life. I hope that other people will relate to them also. It’s not only my story but the story of so many others.
