blind-fitter Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Scene: The kitchen at Fitter Mansions, this morning. Daughter (8), for reasons best known to herself, asks Mrs Fitter "Mummy, is daddy still a superhero?". Mrs Fitter reassures her he is. Quick as a flash, son (10)responds with "Look out! Here he comes..it's GRUMPY MAN!" Secretly, this tickled me. Here is my theme tune, cooked up in an idle half-hour at work: Grumpy Man, Grumpy Man, Does all the things a curmudgeon can, Can he moan? Doesn't he just? All misdemeanours, gruffly cussed. Look out! Here comes The Grumpy Man. Grumpy Man, Grumpy Man, Fun and games, he would ban. Noise and mess make him tense, Stout defender of common sense, Look out! Here comes The Grumpy Man. At any time of day, whether kids are good or bad, He'll be there at the scene, becoming slightly mad. Grumpy Man, Grumpy Man, Disorder isn't part of his plan, Lack of caution? Even worse... He's abnormally risk-averse. Hold on! Here comes The Grumpy Man! Grumpy Man, Grumpy Man, Hiding in a garbage can, To escape from the kids, Climbs inside, pulls down the lid. Look out! There goes The Grumpy Man Whatever you're up to, be sure he'll disapprove. If he doesn't wanna hear us argue, why doesn't he just move? Grumpy Man, Grumpy Man, No escaping Grumpy Man, Needs to chill, needs a rest, He appears to be depressed. Oh No! Here comes The Grumpy Man Look out! Here comes The Grumpy Man. Deploring inadequate manners With a face like a bagful of spanners, Look out! Here comes The Grumpy Man! ********************************** So, which Superhero are you???
