Show FUNNY PROPOSITION IS LIFE J Did you ever sit and ponder, sit and wonder, sit and think, why we're here and what this life is all about? It's a problem that has driven many brainy men to drink. It's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out; about a thousand different theories all the scientists sci-entists can show. But never yet proved a reason why. With all we've thought and all we've taught, why, all we seem to know is, we're born and live awhile and die. Life's a very funny proposition, after all. Imagination, Imagina-tion, jealousy, hypocrisy and gall; three meals a day, a whole lot to say; when you haven't got the coin you're always in the way. Everybody's fighting fight-ing as we wend our way along. Every fellow claims the other fellow's in -The wrong; hurried and worried until we're burled, and there's no curtain call. Life Is a funny proposition, after all. When all things are coming com-ing easy, and when luck is with a mm, why, then, life to him is sunshine everywhere. Then the fates blow rather rath-er breezy, and (hey quite upset a plan ; then he'll cry that life's a burden bur-den hard to hear. Though today may he a day of smiles, tomorrow's still In doubt. And what brings me Joy may bring you care and woe. We're born to die and don't know why, or what's it all about; and the more we try to learn the less we know. Life is a funny proposition, you can bet, and no one's ever solved the problem properly yet; young for a day, then old and gray, like the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away. Losing health to gain our wealth as through this dream we tour; everything's a guessing guess-ing and nothing's absolutely sure. Battles Bat-tles exciting and fates we're fighting until the curtain's fall. Life's a very funny proposition, after all. George M. Cohan. |
