He's A Big Big Gripe
He complains if
The weather is hot
He hates the chills
On a cold winter night.
He doesn't enjoy sounds
Happy children make at play
He gripes at night
Trying to pick a fight.
He quarrels with his wife
For no reason at all
He won't speak to his neighbor
And never has a smile for me or you.
He doesn't like animals
Of any shape or form
He can't understand
Why liking him is very hard to do.
He doesn't realize it
But:
He's big big gripe!
