(SHORT) SONG OF AN OLD GROUCH

Itty bitty pretty kitty
Sing a sentimental ditty

Furry puppy woofy wuffy
Wrapped in toilet tissue fluffy

Daffodilly bright and frilly
Flutter like a girl’s Chantilly

Maids in dresses white with lace
Smiles as void as outer space

Package them in fresh brown paper
Tie with string - and...

'Twas the night before Christmas, and there sat the Grouch,
waiting for Santa and his present filled pouch.
I'm sure that all of you have heard of the Grinch,
but the Grouch is far worse, at least by one inch.

That vile and distasteful sixty-six year old man
had been writing...

Once I saw an oddly grouchy grouch,
grousing away on an old couch,
gaping menacingly,
as I eat happily,
my juicy chicken soupy lunch....

Jack doesn't smile 24/7, sometimes he's a mean old grouch
So Cathie says, “till you're happy again, go sit on the couch!”
He mumbles and sneers
A spoiled brat he appears
Till a dirty big grin reappears on his snout

I suppose in every neighborhood there is bound to be,
An old grouch who with everything tends to disagree.
It matters not whether it happens to be a her or him;
He or she will zoom into orbit at the slightest whim!

The neighbor's pooch performed an indiscretion upon...

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...

Charming child, your apple cheeks
give an appearance which bespeaks
of girlish innocence.
I have ten dollars and ten cents -
Now that you have gained my trust,
do with me what you must.
Sell me cookies, 'lil booger,
and kill me with loads of sugar. ...

What a grouch
As he sits on his couch
Sloppy with a slouch
Always in doubt
Of what he’s about
He gives out a shout
That lazy big lout
Who runs his mouth
Booming and loud
And frightens his spouse
And woke up the mouse
Who was napping in house
And was suddenly aroused
And was on the...

This person is so mean
it is a shame to be this grouchy
sometimes wondering why is this?
it just seems so misleading
what is really going on?
lack of fun?
how can you feel this way most of the time?
you're doing okay financially, without losing a dime
is it something that...

A Neanderthal me comes at night,
He’s storm and grumpy, an ugly blight.
You will not see him with human eyesight.
But he’ll be unkind, and I don’t mean slight....

She was much prettier in death
than any day she had been alive
her mouth softly closed
eyes in gentle repose

no yelling
no grouching
no griping
no complaining

I saw her husband’s genuine smile
For the first time ever
at her funeral luncheon, 
And I had lived next door to them for thirty-six years....
