                    Mood in Crosswords

My daily crossword wants a six letter word meaning unhappy and grumpy
I go on a wild goose chase wondering what the answer would be
Crabby or gloomy seems like a set of twins fighting each other 
Sullen makes me think access to the sun has been interrupted
Fitful is  unlikely to fit in with  ‘unhappy or grumpy’ 
Woeful  becomes my favourite as I start shouting
Cranky or dreary bounces like cream that’s off  
Droopy reminds me of the seven dwarves 
Fickle seem sad figs in a bowl 
Finally I feel so freaky 
I choose an antonym
Serene, not morose


        	Humeur de mots-croisés

Je cherchai pour mes mots croisés le concept de 
‘ Malheureuse et mécontente ’.  Alors je partis 
Dans tous les sens en cherchant une réponse. 
Hurlant sur le haut des toits, tout affligée
Insolente  en répondant à une collègue
Ne choisissant que des mots brusques  
Cassante et sans aucun discernement 
Renfrognée  jusqu’ au bout du nez 
Mal coiffée et revêche dès l’matin
Rogue et  détestable envers tous  
Vexée de tout ce qui s’est passé 
Donnant réplique tranchante
Grincheuse et triste de tout
Je saisis l’humeur contraire  
Accommodante ira mieux
Mais surtout pas  morose.
