A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER, by ANONYMOUS First Line: He always has something to grumble about Last Line: The man with a chip on his shoulder Subject(s): Discontent; Dissatisfaction | ||||||||
He always has something to grumble about, Has the man with a chip on his shoulder; The world to the dogs is going, no doubt, To the man with a chip on his shoulder; The clouds are too dark, the sun is too bright. No matter what happens, it is never right; When peace is prevailing he is spoiling to fight, The man with a chip on his shoulder. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME by CAROLYN KIZER ALMOST, NEVER by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE TIRADE FOR THE NEXT-TO-LAST ACT (VERSION A) by NINA CASSIAN MORTAL COMBAT by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE ON MONSIEUR'S DEPARTURE by ELIZABETH I TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
