Caught in Its Act

    A grumpy day once came my way
      sat down beside me, moping
    Conjuring my best smile
      I asked it, ‘Where is hoping’

    It fired its poison arrows 
      condemning all that’s good
    I took my leave, graciously
      I knew I really should... 

    The day sat still a second
      then stumbled to its feet
    Shouting, ‘Yes, yes, I confess 
      Life on earth's too sweet'

Catches us all sometimes Gershon when we're least expecting it. Tom
