Cantankerous Captain Curmudgeon,
always swinging your bludgeon.
Dashing to pieces hopes and dreams.
What a terrible flail you fling.

With your untimely graying hair,
and your sad reddened stare.
With your stupid trembling hands,
and your crazy made up plans.

Constraining Captain Curmudgeon,
how long I've been in your dungeon.
Constantly you smother me.
I swear one day to bury thee.

So hold your head up high.
Rest your tired eyes.
Clench your trembling hands
and make the best of plans.

Callous Captain Curmudgeon,
always swinging your bludgeon.
Take your best shot at me,
your apathy will be the end of thee.
