The cranky old man down on Mullberry street Only has sausage and sauerkraut to eat Everyday he throws rocks at the neighborhood pets And scowls at the looks from the people he gets Whenever the children go outside to play He grabs a big stick and he’ll chase them away The people on walks that may just happen by Will only get frowns and a mean evil eye He’ll sit on his porch everyday about eight To yell at the mailman that he’s always late The poor pizza boy that delivers his pie Receives for his tip just a spit in the eye If you happen to wish him good morning someday The language he uses will turn your hair gray So I would just not go down Mullberry street Or you may see someone you don’t want to meet |

Classic cranky old man story here! At this point in my life this dude could be my friend if I gave in to the my own cranky version of myself. I'd probably ask if I could join him. ![]() "How much is real? So much to question |
