Grumpy Old Unicorn

Retired and feeling low

Grumpy Old Unicorn

A grumpy old unicorn,

Sits on a hill,

With a frown on his face,

And a heart that is still.

“No magic today,”

He mutters and sighs,

“Just clouds in the sky,

And a world that just cries.

He misses the spark,

The joy of his youth,

But today he just grumbles,

Far from the truth.

Yet when the sun sets,

And the skies are aglow,

A flicker of warmth

In his heart starts to grow.

I suppose I could rest a while

I am still magic he says with a smile
