If the fly that flew and flew .'o excitement ever knew, If the dog some summer dawn Woke to find his lleas all gone, Wouldn't life be pretty tame, F.v'ry day about the same? And It's so with you and me: If we never had the Ilea Men call trouble, and its strife. Wouldn't we get tired of life? Trouble? When we have a bit, That's what puts the kirk in it! ((c). 19 2S.
