Cranky irascible frown
You’d feel crabby too.
Impenetrable.
Hard shell like a crustacean.
Words spoken tartly.
A sideways scuttle.
Beady eyes and hardened shell
I’m feeling crabby.
Goodness, this is my 101st blog post. Yay!

ReplyDeleteAs Angela asked, yes I was crabby yesterday, all decked out in my layers and layers for the biting cold and then spent an hour in a warm supermarket feeling hot, itchy and tired!
Oh yes Kitty and Kittie I hadn't thought of the star sign. ;O)
