Show STICK To vim; LAST By BERTON lilt ALKY. If ever I grow great. I ask this boon 6f Fate N"o matter what I have to crow about. Maj destiny prevent My daring to comment On any sort of thing I don' t know about A big man In his line Can give advice that's fine Regarding any trade he's acquainted with; But when he gives otit dope Of any greater scope He needs a tarry brush to be paJnted with. I'm never very bored Win n Mr. Henry Ford Discusses motor cars with felicity; And I would never run From Mr Edison As long as he discussed electricity. But great men such as these Are likely, by degrees, To think they have achieved omnls-ciency omnls-ciency ; They get up Questionnaires And talk of World Affairs A little of that bunk is a sufficiency! And so I ask of Fate That I shall never prate A lot of empty bosh as I go about; Tf destiny 1 kind. My talk shall be confined Exclusively to things that l know about! (Copyright. 133, NE.
