King Grumpy

 

Blisters of youth, replaced by cynicism.

Graft and sweat neglected.

Potential replaced by criticism.

Passing time. Dejected.

Years spent in an easy chair,

Softened mind and sharpened tongue.

No regard, not self-aware,

Feelings hurt and insults flung.

Grumpy King sits on his throne,

Subjects flee to other lands.

Tomorrow finds him on his own,

He neither cares nor understands.
