The Grump

Today I saw somebody,

With a very grumpy look.

Their face was all in ridges

Like the pages in a book!

 

I’ve never seen them happy.

Their face is always in a pout.

They might even be attractive,

If they’d take that "grumpy" out!

 

Perhaps, this person’s happy--

And full of fun and wit

But the world will never know it--

"Cause they’re always in a snit!

 

Maybe they’re just not aware

That life can be smooth, like silk

But with their bitter attitude

They’d even sour milk!

 

I just may have a notion--

How to take away that frown.

I think I’ll stand ‘em on their head

And turn them upside down!
