Just Folks By EDGAR A A. A GUEST GUESTIN IN HOSPITAL The They met In wheelchairs In the hall Where patients on the doctors doctor's call Both garbed while riding side sideby sideby sideby by side In gowns all hospitals provide Though one was poor and one was rich You couldn't tell just which was which They fell Cell to talking as men will Who Vho find they share a common ill III A conversational point to strike strike- They found their pains were just alike Symptom by symptom good and bad Both great and humble patient had Day after aler day they met and joked Told Tod where the doctors doctor's fingers poked How v long they'd slept That daily trip Became a n bond of oC fellowship Till fame and fortune mattered not And all distinctions were forgot The world makes much of pomp and pride S But hospitals leave sham outside outside outside out out- side And in the wheelchairs great and low lov Each other better botter come to know I They find In pains pain's persistent grip Both brotherhood and fellowship Copyright 1935 Edgar A.
