The Moody Messenger

His walkie-talkie sneezes

And coughs as he goes by,

And something short and horrible

He spits out in reply.

He’s a cross between a cowboy

And a moody astronaut,

Scowling from his fish bowl

(He’s not the smiling sort).

He’s among the meanest movers

Down any city street,

With a 1000-c.c. dragon

Snarling at hands and feet.

With a roar of rage he throttles.

The rubber grips and bites

And nearly knocks your knees off

When lunging from the lights.

He slouches into offices

And slams the package down.

Can you think of anything

To make him smile, not frown?
