Truculent Knave

.

     I too have become the
         truculent knave
             fractious
              oh yes 
                testy
              peevish
             so cranky
     for the winter hides
           the flower's
               bloom
                 yes
        from mine eyes

Daver Austin Date: 11/4/2010 11:07:00 AM A regular thesaurus of old-man complaints. I am guilty of all at times, but it doesn't even take the bitter winter to bring out these negative qualities in myself. I have frightened my cats hollering at a loud rock group on the tube. A very choice piece, Sir James. Love, Dave Login to Reply
