Here is my third post for the #AtoZChallenge for April 2022. My title and theme for this challenge is “Seriously Silly Poetry” in recognition of April being poetry month and also wanting to do something fun and playful to celebrate spring. I hope you enjoy this series.
Well, I didn’t plan on having the first three posts all pulling from previous work, but apparently I’ve covered the beginning of the alphabet well and “C is for…Chat-a-Grump” was originally published as part of Monty’s Very Short Shorts – an illustrated collection of very short stories and poems (and yes, since you asked, it’s available from Amazon…oh, you didn’t ask? My mistake).
