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.<\/p>\n

Old and Grumpy Song<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

I don\u2019t like women and I don\u2019t like men<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I have been grumpy since I can\u2019t remember when<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The kids are noisy and the cashier is rude<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019d better watch your step; I\u2019m in a really bad mood!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everything around me is beginning to fall apart<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

My feet are always aching and I have a bad heart<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Every friggin\u2019 day I’m worried about my health<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Think I\u2019ll just sit down right here and feel sorry for myself<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I gotta\u2019 do the dishes or they\u2019re covered in slime<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But still they just get dirty so it\u2019s all a waste of time<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I really should get up and take the time to make my bed<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But I\u2019m so gull darn grumpy gonna\u2019 lie right here instead<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Growing old is very painful and it just ain\u2019t fair<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

My neighbors ignore me and my family\u2019s off somewhere<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m so lonely, bored and frightened that I\u2019m often moved to tears<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

And with modern medication, – – ah shit! – – , this is going to last for years<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
