Grouch Song

(SHORT) SONG OF AN OLD GROUCH

Itty bitty pretty kitty
Sing a sentimental ditty

Furry puppy woofy wuffy
Wrapped in toilet tissue fluffy

Daffodilly bright and frilly
Flutter like a girl’s Chantilly

Maids in dresses white with lace
Smiles as void as outer space

Package them in fresh brown paper
Tie with string - and light with taper

Free of all that cuteness sweet
Give me plate of raw red meat

Geoffrey, I really adore this... the daffodilly bright and frilly--and the image of the smirking curmudgeon grumbling out these lines. Wishing you lots of red meat :)

Thanks, P.S. Your response makes me feel a little less grouchy.
