Disappointment 101

Grrr grrr grumble growl

Love affair is over*

Surf darts mumble vowels

Chance brought a rover

Spit cymbal monolingual

Berries burst near moon

Sitting chintz wheezing feeble

Ice cream brought a spoon**

* The reader is encouraged to replace line two with their own six syllable disappointment line. Then recite the poem many times when in the state of disappointment and transform! (Right arm with fist goes up with POW! like gesture when reading that last word.)

** In case you were wondering, the author loves Haagen Daz Swiss Almond Vanilla with Haagen Daz hot fudge sauce. – Kate Kaiser
