You just gripe and complain,
Till your face turns bright red,
Oh, it's such a terrible day,
You should have stayed in bed.

The alarm clock didn't go off,
Your kids are late for school,
Dear wifey burned your toast,
Oh man! That is just not cool!

Now it's raining hard outside,
Oops! Your car is out of gas,
The dumb dog pooped on the lawn,
Whoah! You're down in the grass.

Your nice neighbor over the fence,
Parked his car too close to yours,
And so now you're just wondering,
How you'll go out and do chores.

Face it; your life is so miserable,
There is obviously nothing good,
You would really change everything,
Well, that is, if only you could.

Wake up, you foolish complainer!
You have no reason to moan & groan,
You're not poor out on the street,
And just chewing on some soup bone.

You have a wife and a great family,
And a nice home in which to live,
You've got clothes on your back,
So much money, you can even give.

Your health may not be perfect,
But it's a lot better than some,
So I really have to wonder how,
To God's blessings you are so numb.
