Grumpy Gnome Gets a Reward

Brownie, elf, faeries, pixies and small root sprout
In this meadow are twirling, whirling, and dancing about
Showing the green dragon a magical escape route
Leading him to freedom, without a doubt

They left behind a grumpy gnome in a pout
He was angry because his left foot had the gout
Suddenly they heard him give a gigantic shout
He had caught

Bah Humbug - A Grumpy Carol

Two days before Christmas
Finally, it is near
I’m so sick of the chatter and all the cheer
Smiling faces, warm hearts, and hugs
I can only think of one thing,

Grumpy Ollie

The grump got out of a lumpy bed,
Slipped on his slippers, scratched his head.
Stood on the scales, saw what he weighed,
Then made some toast with marmalade. 

The grump then cycled down the lane,

To buy some aspirin, then he stopped.

He peered at the grubby town

Grumpy Cook Friday

Grumpy Cook Friday the vegetable Man
Always has an open cook book in his hand
He usually has a mushroom, ready to cook.

Grumpy Rooster

My tail feathers are uncovered and bare, the rooster man said.
The nurses laughed their petootsies off; he was touched in the head.
That’s how all of the gowns do, they told him, but he was not happy.
He groused and grumbled all the way down the hall next to my pappy.

Grumpy Numpty

A grumpy numpty spat on his phone,
Deleting wanton feeds alone,

He would lament the moment he would drop it.
If you gave him a new
