Sometimes I write rhythmic prose that needs a melody to become a song. If you like this one and can put it to music, please record your rendition and share it with us.
Old and Grumpy Song
I don’t like women and I don’t like men
I have been grumpy since I can’t remember when
The kids are noisy and the cashier is rude
You’d better watch your step; I’m in a really bad mood!
Everything around me is beginning to fall apart
My feet are always aching and I have a bad heart
Every friggin’ day I’m worried about my health
Think I’ll just sit down right here and feel sorry for myself
I gotta’ do the dishes or they’re covered in slime
But still they just get dirty so it’s all a waste of time
I really should get up and take the time to make my bed
But I’m so gull darn grumpy gonna’ lie right here instead
Growing old is very painful and it just ain’t fair
My neighbors ignore me and my family’s off somewhere
I’m so lonely, bored and frightened that I’m often moved to tears
And with modern medication, – – ah shit! – – , this is going to last for years
