Moaning All the Way
The rain is not wet enough,
the sunshine not warm.
He goes out to do
a little moody grocery shopping.
People are driving too fast
or too slow.
The shop shelves
are bare of what he needs,
though he does not know
what he needs.
He considers ending it all
at the candy aisle,
instead, whoops gleefully -
there are jelly beans!
