There's No in Our House. Happiness Boredom One There's No Noise Too Much Noise

The poem describes the noisy household of a large family. It mentions the father who keeps shouting, the mother who breaks things, the baby who bites, the sister who screams, the brother who roars, the grandfather who is deaf and slams doors, and the dog running rings. The poem says the house is the noisiest in town with doors always slamming and things falling down, and that outside the house is a mess. It invites the reader to come visit and experience the constant din and lack of dull moments in the lively family home.
