THE HOUSE OF TOO MUCH TROUBLE
Albert Bigelow Paine
In the House of Too Much Trouble
Lived a lonely little boy;
He was eager for playmate.
He was hungry for toy.
But twas always too much bother,
Too much dirt, and too much noise
For the House Of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left book upon the floor
Dr. forgot and laughed too loudly,
Or he failed to close door.
In the House of Too Much Trouble
Things must be precise and trim;
N the House of Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him.
lie must never scatter playthings,
He must never romp and play;
Cvry room must be in order
And kept quiet all the day.
lie had never had companions.
He had never owned a pet
n the House of Too Much Trouble
1t Is trim and quiet yet.
,v'ry room is set in order.
Every book is in its place.
nd the lonely little fellow
Wears a smile upon his face.
n the House of Too Much Trouble
He is silent and at rest
4 the House of Too Much Trouble,
With a lily on his breast.
