Fuss and Nonsense

Fuss and Nonsense went to the bay

leaving Grumpy and Difficult at home
to stay

they went to sit down on the beach on the sand

until Fuss said to Nonsense; I’d much
rather stand

Nonsense misheard what Fuss had to say

and sat on the sand on the beach at
the bay

Fuss turned her head to a mighty foul sound

it was Grumpy approaching and shouting
out loud

I’ve come to spread torpor and to wither and fade

I’ve come for a day at the beach in
the shade

as Fuss became grumpy and difficult too

she took on a persona depressingly
blue

she started to shrink and to shrivel and wilt – 

Nonsense caught with a start at the
spite Fuss had built

Nonsense could sense an odd feeling impart

so he swam over to Chance who cajoled
a fresh start

they talked babble and jabber and twaddle all day

and swam to the new world where
they’d canoodle and play

they were free to be flippant and simply have fun – 

leaving Fuss and her ‘friends’ in the company of Numb
