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 © Jack Ellison 2015

Can't imagine you sitting on the couch, grumbling- morelikely sprawled out with a pyramid of beer cans and the remote. Great fun verse, Jack. Viv. Ps- I thought it about time I left a verse in tribute to your quick wit, so look out for my submission 'The Zipper'.

Okay you nailed me but instead of a pyramid of beer, it would be a pyramid of Kool-Aid! I will proceed to unzip your zipper (so to speak!)

Jack is nimble... And he's quick... He can write any where that kind of steick... So don't be afraid... as Lady Cathie pulls him away... He's still writing... Or making up more ideas I gotta say...
