Question

Susie May, the Complainer

There was never a complaint
That Susie May never made.
She would whine without restraint
To show how she was dismayed.

Nothing appeared to be right
In Susie May's eyes, so bright.
She would shout, yell, howl, and scream
To let out some of her steam.

Everyone was too afraid
Of Susie May to complain.
Her words were very well played
And stung to cause lots of pain.
