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 November 4, 2010 at 11:07 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

Carolyn Devonshire November 4, 2010 at 10:55 AM Bring out the poinsettias and the Christmas cactus, James. No season should be without flowers! And we want to see you smiling year round. Love, Carolyn
