Song of An Old Grouch

SONG OF AN OLD GROUCH

Itty bitty pretty kitty
Sing a sentimental ditty

Furry puppy woofy wuffy
Wrapped in toilet tissue fluffy

Flutter little butterfly
Butter me treacle pie

Daffodilly bright and frilly
Flutter like a girl’s Chantilly

Rain-dripped roses, dew drop noses
Little hats like wool tea cosies

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

Then when they‘re incinerated
Grouchiness all dissipated

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

L. J. Carber Date: 5/3/2018 8:39:00 AM I love this! You show a remarkable ear for words, both as music and as irony (the 6th couplet is spot on).
