A Grouchy Grouch

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

Premium Member Fauci Turns Grouchy

Dr. Fauci turned grouchy
   Bit his lip, got an ouchie  

      Kept his mask on, bled to death
      Socially distanced ~ had bad breath

Brownie, elf, gnome, pixie and fey
Walked to large mushroom store on the bay
Met a grouchy gargoyle along the way
He was made of concrete, all gravelly gray

Premium Member Serve Yourself Cat

Serve yourself cat, the grouchy butler said.
Thom was angry now, wishing the old guy was dead.
I have to make my own sandwich? Cut my own bread?
Only if you feel like you’d like to get fed.

Premium Member Grouchy Blue Corpulent Cat

Grouchy blue corpulent cat knew where it was at
She loved her girth, enjoyed her muscles and fat.
Dancing to a square dance, she squashed many a gnat
Enjoying his days, singing rat-a-tat-tat.

Gassy wagtail

Going with his big baby

Premium Member Mr and Mrs Bull

Mr. and Mrs. Bull were the first two in a life boat.
You are boat hogs! Yelled Neebrie, a grouchy nanny goat.
We are honeymooners, Mr. Bull yelled back in fun.
His wife was not as nice, she stuck out her ugly tongue.

coal buckets and car coats
frazzle fritzes and fuzzy floats
germinating grouchy goats

Premium Member Four Year Olds Need their Nap Routine

Insanely bad mood
Snippy and snarling
He is four-years-old
Fighting his nap time
Baby sitter folds

He falls asleep
at six o’clock
when parents come
to take him home

grouchy boy
cannot eat
wants his bed

routine
broken

sad

Premium Member Trying To Ungrump Mushroom Man

The mushroom man was grumpy, so the mice came out to play.
The plotted and they pushed, and they tried to “make his day”.
They were exciting and excited, and they asked him to be gay.
But the mushroom man was grouchy every other sad Tuesday.

Premium Member The Pain In My Ouchie

I deplore the physician named Fauci.

His opinions are making me grouchy.

Goggles next we should wear?

In his office I'd dare

not let him observe my mere ouchie.

Premium Member Night Crawler Nell a Crabby Courtesan

a crabby courtesan does not do well
when her meanness is seen by clientele
the one I knew named angry night crawler Nell
was so grouchy, she was a very hard sell
the Madame found her a new place to dwell
No one knows what happened to nasty old Nell

Premium Member Gs Having Fun

Gorillas grow growly gruffy grouchy grampas
Giving grateful gremlins grassy growth plates
Glassy glistening glowing glaring glimmers of globes
Groovy grizzly gristleworms gracefully grifting grandmas
Grandiose grimlets grabbing growling gracious grates.

Premium Member my boss is such a crab

my boss is such a crab!
We all giggled at the bar
Truly, he is grouchy and mean
His directives sound like tar

We are laughing our petootsies off
one of the workers falls off her stool
She has no idea about accountant work
She works in a lovely grade school

Premium Member Giddy

Giddy is a fun place to be
Kinda like octupusses under the sea
According to the Beatles.

Giddy is happy, HAPPY me
Without having to try how to be
What grouchy people would rather see.

I love me some giddy
As much as my kitty
The world is more pretty..

When I'm giddy.

Premium Member His Empty Life

He was a grouchy tempestuous old fool
he was estranged from his family too.
He had wealth and most of all
he had acclaim.

He had everything he wanted for sure.
He had all of that and so much more.

a self made man as hard as a gem, 
but in his angry life
had not one friend.

Premium Member And So It Begins

And so it begins: you start slowing down muscles atrophied your sight starts to blur and dreams drift away. Your hair is grey: you wear false teeth, you've gaining weight and cannot sleep. You're grouchy and can't hear. All telltale signs you're growing old.

Premium Member Dr Anthony Fauci

American Hero, just-the-facts scientist Dr. Anthony Fauci...
   shrugs off attacks, death threats; he's never grouchy

       Banished from the White House for doing his job.
   He now works from home; laughs off fury of GOP mob
