Curmudgeons are funny people; churlish
and often times critical, they don’t tend
to fair well as stand up comedians. Though
some have tried and died a thousand deaths,
drawing laughs at all the wrong respites.
They soon turn to writing poetry but alas,
it’s horribly true, that once a curmudgeon,
you tend to remain a curmudgeon.
