         The Curmudgeon

He was an independent old cuss
A curmudgeon of sorts if you will
With many exuberant opinions
He was indeed a bitter pill

We’d never call him slipshod
A stranger he had never met
But those who knew his stubborn ways
Wished he was a stranger yet

And everyone wished he’d invert
Yet his opinions still he’d cling
Throwing out words ex-cathedra
As if he were the king
