For Jim
Across the parking lot. You lacked the strength
To say hello. We all have problems. Life is
Hard, and, for that reason, it seems right
To offer up a smile and some semblance
Of a cheery greeting, possibly a little joke,
To someone who is passing by, but you know
Me. I grunt and grumble. Consequently,
You took care to walk the other way.

Sourpuss
You saw me walking with my trademark scowlAcross the parking lot. You lacked the strength
To say hello. We all have problems. Life is
Hard, and, for that reason, it seems right
To offer up a smile and some semblance
Of a cheery greeting, possibly a little joke,
To someone who is passing by, but you know
Me. I grunt and grumble. Consequently,
You took care to walk the other way.
