Nothing But a Grouch

I lost my hopes to apathy
like teardrops in a sea
washed away forever
for all eternity

No hope to kindle hope
no fire to spark desire
as if I made a pact with life
that my ambition should retire

What to do? Is now my quest
as I stand here all depressed
it feels as though I've sold my soul
and my fervor's been possessed

Emptiness pervades my soul
filling me with sloth
draining all my energy
inhibiting my growth

Someone tell the wind to blow
and bring me back my hope
fill my sails with aspiration
intensify my scope

Re-ignite the fire of life
set my soul aflame
fix me up with someone's wife
or some other dizzy dame

Anything is better
than sitting on the couch
to become an lonely bachelor
who is nothing but a grouch

i'm re-watching grumpy old men
that walter matthau and jack lemmon zen
ann-margaret trussed in a bustier might
enliven another dull boring night

so look to your neighbor
ask him or her for a favor
head out to the stripclub
get a lapdance to savor!

or just take some road trips
spend on gas not strip tips
a nice mingler nearby
will sigh and fly high
to have a date who can spell "their" and "quips"

Her 'quips' were where her lips should be
Her 'theirs' were bright as flares
my loneliness when up in smoke
as I laid her on the stairs

I fiddled with her flimsy bra
and freed her naked bust
a spelling bee would not ensue
as I began to thrust

Humping in the dead of night
on the Goodyear rubber doll
it didn't feel like making love
more like an ally brawl

there once was a man from michelle's
whose luck with women was as ice-in-hell's
hard and cold then he'd melt
showed how he really felt
they're not buying so who said "sex sells?"

I liked the dizzy dame..thang

reminded me of a Frank Sinatra..

With your sense of humour , I doubt you'll remain single.

Ahhh, those boys with words jingling
trolling round this place mingling.
You'd think
they'd be snapped up right quick.

But, alas
and well durn it
they're still wishing
for Scarlet.

As they rudder life's boats
with their (ummm, yeah, well ya get the point!)
