THE GRUMBLBR.

THE GRUMBLER.
He grumbles in the morning
On rising from his bed
He grumbleS at his breakfast
While spreading butter on his bread
He grumbles at his napkin.
He grumbles at his knife,
He grumbles at the tablecloth,
And grumbles at his wife.
He grumbles at the paper
While reading DER the news,
He grumbles at the cobbler
When he buys a pair of shoes.
He grumbles at the clock
When it strikes out the hour,
And he grumbles at the ''deluge'
When there comes little shower.
He grumbles at the children
When they're playing in the street,
He grumbles at the butcher
At the way he cuts the meat.
He grumbles at his little dog,
Ii 1t only wags its tail,
And when the wind gently blows
He grumbles at the "gale.''
He grumbles when bill comes in,
No matter how very small,
He grumbles at the servants,
He grumbles at us all.
He grumbles at the darkness
When he has to light the gas,
And he grumbles at the matches
The unhappy grumbling ass.
He grumbles at the prices,
He grunbles at his stocks,
He grumbles at his feet
When he buys pair of socks.
He grumbles at the summer
When the sun is rather warm
And he grunbles at the ''winter''
Every time we have storm.
He grumbles at a question,
He grumbleS at smile;
At church, he grumbles at the people
Who are standing in the AISLE
He grumbles at his daughter
When she wants a little money,
And he grumbles when she laughs
At anything very funny.
He grumbles at the rich man,
He grumbles at the poor,
He grumbles at the beggars
When they knock upon his door,
He grumbles at the rent-day
When the landlords to be paid,
He grumbles in the sunshine,
He grumbles in the shade.
He grumbles at his neighbor
When he's getting in his coal,
He grumbles at the cartman
Who dumps it down the hole.
He grumbles at wagon
If it stands before his door,
And he grumbles at crumb OF bread
If it falls upon the floor,
He grumbles in his sleep
While he's lying in his bed,
And often fancy to myself
He'll grlnlble when he's dead.
