Poem : The Grumble Family
Poet : Lucy Maud Montgomery
Standard : 10 th
Subject : English
Syllabus : Samacheer Kalvi

There is a family nobody likes to meet
They live it is said on complaining Street
In the city of Never - Are - Satisfied
The river of Discontent beside

They growl at that and they growl at this
Whatever comes there is something amiss
And whether their station be high or humble
They are all known by the name of Grumble.

The weather is always too hot or cold
Summer and winter alike they scold
Nothing goes right with the folks you meet
Down on that Gloomy complaining Street

They growl at the rain and they growl at the sun
Infact their growling is never done
And if everything is pleased them, there isn't a doubt,
They'd growl that they'd nothing to grumble about.

But the queerest thing is that, not one of the same
can be brought to acknowledge his family name
For never a grumbler will own that he
Is connected with it at all , you see
