Thumpin & Grumpin

Thumpin’ & Grumpin’ Someone is making way too much noise, son of a bitch I stepped on one of my kids’ toys Who is that driving way too fast down my road? I swear one more time and I’m gonna explode Went outside to holler and I stepped in fresh poop, on my slides of course it ain’t the kind you can scoop While I’m sittin’ here waitin’ on my baby to call, on my way back in I missed a step and had a nasty fall Sometimes when I have days like these Simplest thing takes me to my knees I try to clear my mind and think of my special somethin’ An image of my babe in my mind stops my thumpin’ & grumpin’ Turn on the TV and news drives me mad, too many people die and man that’s so sad Guns and money, use one to get the other, shoot a stranger, hell even shoot your brother It gets me so angry I yell at the screen, hurling insults at the bad people I get so obscene; I stop and think for a minute and sadly realize, all this anger ain’t much better than the bad guys Sometimes when I have days like these Simplest thing takes me to my knees I try to clear my mind and think of my special somethin’ An image of my babe in my mind stops my thumpin’ & grumpin’ I’m just going to take a minute to relax and chill Ease my tensions and let everything be still Just clear my mind and think of my special somethin’ That’s you babe, come on help me stop my thumpin’ & grumpin’ Tim Windisch 06/22/2023
