Some people gripe, lament and complain.
Being around them is really a strain.
They fuss and they muss and their troubles discuss.
I wish they would go far away from us!
A growl and a scowl make a sorrowful jowl.
Looking at them makes me just want to howl!
They grumble and mumble, they groan and they moan.
Not being humble, on and on they will drone.
They mutter and sputter and no good word utter.
Help! Get me out of this unhappy splutter!
A positive word would make all seem quite bright,
Would happiness bring..... with a smile of delight!
"Be hospitable to one another without grumbling."
I Peter 4:9 NKJ
