A Mean Old Grouch

Jack doesn't smile 24/7, sometimes he's a mean old grouch So Cathie says, “till you're happy again, go sit on the couch!” He mumbles and sneers A spoiled brat he appears Till a dirty big grin reappears on his snout

To me Jack appears to be a wise old grouch - Loves being told by Cathie “sit on the couch” - No wonder he grins - He’ll pay for his sins - When Cathie finds out what the grouch is about…… Belle

I hope this is fiction lol, it's not the Jack I know. Just back from Norway, met up with Anne Lise whilst I was there. Would love to visit your neck of the woods, it's on my bucket list. Hope you're keeping well Tom
