Mutter and Huff

Why must you mutter? Well, why do YOU huff? Seems we’ve reached a standoff, Enough is enough! For thirty odd years When I enter the room, I hear all the rumblings A prophet of gloom! And for ME, all these years I hear unhappy sighs As if you’ve been wounded Or the sun will not rise Are you so unhappy? Do I cause YOU grief? Is that what you think? Guess that is MY belief The mutter you hear is a prayer How could you be so wrong? I’m thanking the powers that be, Without you I can’t get along Funny, the huff that you’re hearing, my dear is a sigh of relief Knowing you are still here! May WE mutter and huff till our dying days Or, may we BILL and COO, Please let me rephrase!
