I Am In a Bad and Horrible Mood
I am in a bad and horrible mood
My scowl is deep and dark
I am sitting in my pajamas plotting someone's death
a variety of ways
I see myself running them down with a wheelbarrow,
and sticking a pitchfork in their arm. Maybe twisting it too
I am glorying in the craziness of this madness which is
something my placated self would never think
I certainly would not do it but for some strange reason
it gives me enormous satisfaction and I laugh
Betrayal is something I do not abide and lies
are the quickest way to get off my party list.
I am scowling and swearing, deep in the throes of it
When my friend Marge comes over to see what she can do
She can do nothing; I refuse to let her in
But she has a key which I had forgotten
She comes in, gives me my favorite dessert, gets out
my best lemonade glasses, and pours me a drink I love.
I am trying my best to hate her for it; trying unsuccessfully to glower.
Not quite ready to be nice
