IT’S HARD
It’s hard not to be grumpy when you are messed about,
Hard to stay cool and calm and not to yell and shout,
Or sit and sulk and make a miserable scowling face,
Hard to smile and be all nice, full of kindness and grace.
It’s not always easy to stay quietly in perfect control,
Especially if one feels that they are on a grouchy roll,
It is not always easy to see the funny side of things
When time and money are wasted and what that brings.
But life will bring it’s problems so why not give a grin,
Even if it starts as a grimace, soon that smile will win,
For on the whole life is really good, fine most of the time,
So maybe every now and then it is alright to have a whine.
