it seems when it comes to hope
every time I've tried to somehow rearrange
it comes back on me some ten fold
and almost angrily
how so humorlessly strange
I'm not one of any bad seed or sort
just quick with a come back , rejoinder
or slicing retort
I'm not much fun
unless I can quite easily say that I've won
self esteems confusable cause
the cause of saving one's face
never mind belligerence verses mortal disgrace
when it comes to the not so mighty me
I believe I'll stay just where I am
one step ahead of the moment
just where I was intended to be
'Unabashedly Cranky'
that's me
one patten on human behavior in the form of
a hick-i-fied nut shell...................
