It is a great poem! Describes me perfectly, it does!
When I was running an Italian conversation class I got my students to translate it into Italian: they left the class in a state of shock!
;D ;D ;D

This is my real favourite poem though:
HUFF
I am in a tremendous huff –
Really, really bad,
It isn’t any ordinary huff –
It’s one of the best I’ve had
I plan to keep it up for a month
Or maybe for a year
And you needn’t think you can make me smile
Or talk to you, no fear
I can do without you and her and them –
Too late to make amends.
I’ll think deep thoughts on my own for a while,
Then find some better friends
And they’ll be wise and kind and good
An bright enough to see
That they should behave with proper respect
Towards somebody like me
I do like being in a huff –
Cold fury is so heady.
I’ve been like this for half and hour
And it’s cheered me up already
Perhaps I’ll give them another chance,
Now I’m feeling stronger
But they’d better watch out – my next big huff
Could last much, much, much longer
