Crotchety

I am feeling crotchety. It doesn’t make me proud But, even though I’m female, At my age it is allowed. So many things get on my nerves – Today, alone, a lot. Enough to get, as sayings go, My knickers in a knot. We’re all entitled to a mood That’s grouchy, grumpy, cross, Yet some folks never get that way, And why? I’m at a loss.

I actually never thought I could enjoy being alone after always having been married but I am really enjoying being in control of when I interface with people and socialize. I totally get this poem of yours. Rhymes are awesome..

As a bad mood does not make you happy, what is the sense in revelling in it? But my late wife shared your attitude! Aloha!
