Grumpy Young Man

My egg is too runny
Doing homework’s not funny
Bedtime’s far too early
My sister’s too girly

Haircuts are boring
Grandad keeps snoring
My pants make me itch
And my teacher’s a witch

Lemonade makes me burp 
My uncle’s a twerp
Long sums get me grumpy
And my duvet is lumpy

Brushing teeth is a chore
It makes me wee on the floor
Which makes my feet sticky
So walking is tricky

My shorts are so tight 
That they make my legs white
And my socks are too grey
And my mouse ran away

Big dogs are scary
And I don’t like Aunt Mary
She kisses me lots 
And brings me out in red spots

When things I do make mum red
I’m sent up to bed 
Although I’m never to blame
I’m told off all the same

Baths takes far too long
My old socks always pong
There’s never enough cakes
And my bike has no brakes

Grown ups are too old 
And tea stinks when it’s cold

But what I hate most
Is dropping my toast.
