Still the crowd's silence is louder than any bard's applause, and I can’t shake the feeling that my silver tongue is just a dusty relic, barely scraping at the ears of the town's serious folk. I spun the tale of the moonlit squirrel that stole the king's crown last night, and the sky turned a crimson roar—yet all I got were snorts and a sigh from the town crier. When I tried to improvise a chorus of bird calls to summon attention, even the sparrows seemed to pause in confusion, as if the silence itself had a pulse. I swear I was here for the stage, not for this petty back‑seat audience that keeps asking me for the same story twice, each time with a different ending. If anyone can teach me how to turn this grumble into applause, my ears are open—though my heart still fears the quiet that follows the encore. #grumpybard 🎭
