Rebuttal. Geezer gone grumpy.
73rd birthday this month.
Grandpa times two.
Sexy magenta walking cane.
Don't hardly need that.
But commands respect
Maybe some fear.
Could swing it.
Bruise a leg
Or haunch.
Generally I find respect
And doors opened
And generous smiles.
But then comes that
Nasty generation gap.
I make a simple
Friendly comment.
No response, awkward.
Ah so you are one
Of those disrespectful punks.
Duck your head
A wee bit.
The stick comes into play.
Move aside kid.
I said aside!!!
You are hogging the entire
Sidewalk.
I am NOT SLINKING OVER
INTO THE GRASS.
YOU HEAR ME?
THIS STICK HURTS!
Whoosh, slam.
Oh did that hurt Friend?
Too bad.

Jacking up the crankiness. A tad.
