Curmudgeons Have Nothing Very Much Also

Stars, what can you say about them - not a lot. The slightest bit of cloud cover and they’re gone. Butterflies… folks got a lot of things to say about butterflies - not me though (bug splat on a rainbow), the whole darn world is fluttering-by, and butter has yet learned to fly. Romance and moonshine are like the stars, they’re not reliable in daylight, unless we are discussing high octane spirit in a jar or our deep and abiding love for classic cars. If you tie stars, romance, moonshine and butterflies all together into a fairytale posy apparently, you are what some may refer to as a ‘poet’, and what can you say about that? Nothing.

You're a poet, and you never knew it. Classic cars sing to me, and big Bertha says romance died when she shot me dead. Strange girl.
