Life's Little Frustrations

My New Year's resolutions sound familiar, 

And why that is should be very clear; 

No wonder I recognize them so easily-- 

They're the very same ones I made last year!  (reprinted)

Life's Little Frustrations

What is the secret of Santa's mirth?
It's that he never worries about his girth.
He eats what he likes and he likes what he eats.
He doesn't ever worry about fats or sweets.
You can see why he's jolly, if you just take a look.
It's obvious Mrs. Santa's a very good cook.

Have you ever known people who never said "please,"

Or "excuse me" after a yawn or a sneeze,

Or "thank you" for anything that you might do

Just accepting your kindness as what they are due?

You take him to the table and put him in his seat.
You offer him fruits and veggies, bread and milk and meat.
You try to bribe him with the promise of having something sweet,
But sometimes your little darling will just refuse to eat!

Life's Little Frustrations

If you are grumpy, and I'm grumpy too,

Then I am acting just like you,

And that's a tempting thing to do.

We want to get even, and that's so true.

But I need to give you a big old smile

And lighten your load, whatever your trial.

This age of technology is too complicated, I moan,

And then I watch a two-year-old scrolling on an I Phone!

And if you want to learn the way to operate a computer

You just need to get a kid to come and be your tutor!
