Music = Don't Worry, Be Happy

------The Grouch------

 The Grouch came to visit
our happy home today.
He came to cause bad feelings
and take the smiles away.

I knew that he had crept in
when I heard a terrible shreik.
It came from my grandchild's bedroom
so I had to take a peek

The door was partially open
and I heard "I just don't care".
"I'm staying home from school today".
"I don't have anything to wear".

Then I heard her mother say
"You had best get back in bed".
"And this time when you get out,
use the other side instead".

I  still could hear a mournful whining
and then I saw that frown.
I softly told my grandchild
that a Grouch was in her gown.

We smiled and knew just what to do
we had whipped this Grouch before.
We ran downstairs and went outside
and threw not one but two old grouches out the door.
