GRUMPY



GRUMPY

Saw the
Grumpy
Face
Peering at
Me
As I
Sat reading 

Like a
Dark
Cloud it
Looked on
At
What I 
Was
Doing.

I stopped,
Closed
The book
And leaned
Back.

The face
Came 
Nearer.
It kept
Staring 
While it
I kept
Ignoring!

Through
Half closed
Lids
I could
See,
Grumpy
Staring at
Me.

I fought
Back
A laugh
Pretending
To sleep
As 
Frowny
Eyed the
Book
I was
Reading.

It
Was
All about
Laughter,
Smiles
And cheer.
Everything 
Grumpy 
Was against.

Frowning
Deeply
Grumpy
Fled from
Me!
