Never a dull moment

                                        by Tony Bradman

⑴If you like to keep lively,

If you hate being bored,

Just come down to our house

And knock on the door.

⑵It's the noisiest house

In the whole of our town,

There're doors always slamming(砰地关上)

And things falling down.

⑶There's my dad, who keeps shouting,

And my mum, who breaks things,

The baby (who'll bite you!)

And our dog running rings.

⑷There's my sister the screamer

And my brother who roars(咆哮)，

And a grandpa who's stone deaf

(He's the one who slams doors).

⑸So come down to our house,

You don't need the address,

You'll hear it ten miles away

And the outside's a mess.

⑹You won't mind the racket(嘈杂声)，

You'll just love the din(吵闹声)

For there's never a dull moment

In the house we live in!
