Munday on Monday: Fussy baby syndrome

With tears and tantrums, crying, bawling,

And lots of excess caterwauling,

A hissy-fit with nothing gained:

Emotions gush all unrestrained.

It happens at the movies — store —

Or workplace — school — just hear ’em roar;

Erupting loud and, anyhow,

Demanding our attention now.

Our patience wanes to “ifs” and “maybes”

When grown adults are fussy babies.
