WHERE DO YOU Liver
Anonymous

knew man, and his name was Horner
Who used to live on Grumbe Corner
Grumble Corner, in Cross-Patch Town
And he never was seen without frown
He grumbled at this; he grumbled at that;
He growled at the dog; he growled at the cat;
He growled at morning. he growled at night;
And to grumble and growl were his chief delight
He grumbled so much at his wife that she
Began to grumble as well as he;
And all the children, wherever they went,
Reflected their parents discomfort.
If the sky was dark and hetokened rain,
Then Mr.. Horner was sure to complain;
And if there was never cloud about
He'd grumble because Of a threatened drought
His meals were never to suit his taste;
He grumbled at having to eat in haste;
The bread was poor, or the meat was tough,
Or else he hadn't had half enough
No matter how hard his wife might try
To please her husband, with scornful eye
He'd look around, and then with scowl
At something or other, begin to growl.
One day. I>loitered along the street,
My old acquaintance CHANGED to meet
Whose face was without the look of care
And the ugly frown that it used to wear.
Il may be mistaken perhaps" said,
AS, after salutng, turned my head;
But it is and it isn't, the Mr.. Horner
Who lived so long on Grumbe Corner"
| met him next day; and met him again
In melting weather, in pouring rain,
When stocks were up, and when stocks were down;
But smile somehow had replaced the frown.
1t puzzled me much; and so, one day,
l seized his hand in friendly way,
And said: "Mr. Horner, I'd like to know
What can have happened to change you 500"
He laughed laugh that was good to hear
For it told of conscience calm and clear -
And he said with none of the old-time drawl:
why, I've changed my residence, that is all"
Changed your residence?' YES" said Horner,
1T wasn't healthy on Grumble Corner
And so l moved; twas change complete;
And you'll find me on Thanksgiving Street"
Now every day as move along
The streets so filled with the busy throng,
l watch each face, and can always tell
Where men and women and children dwell;
And many disconnected mourner
Is spending his days on Grumble Corner,
Sour and sad, whom l long to entreat
To take house on Thanksgiving Street.
