ON THE GOOSE
The goose is a low heavy-set bird, .
composed of meat and feathers. His J
head sets on one end and he sets on 1
the other. He cannot sing much on |
account of the dampness in the moisture
in which he lives. There ain't |
no between to his toes and he carries
a toy balloon in his stomach to keep I
from sinking. A goose has two legs
and they are set so far back on his |
running gear that they came pretty |
near missing his body. Some geese j
when they get big are called Ganders. .
Ganders don't have to set or hatch, j
but just loaf, eat and go swimming. I
If I was a goose I'd rather be a gander.

THE MAN WHO WINS
The man who wins is the man who
doe?",
The man who makes things hum ami
bu '.z.
The man who work? and the man
who acts.
Who r-u:V.s on a basis of solid facts,
Who doesn't sit down to mope and
dream.
But humps ahead vvh n fore of ,
steam;
Who hasen't the time to fuss and fiv'
Bu tgets there every time-?you bet!
The man who wins is the man who
wears 1
A smile to cover his burden of care-:
Who knows that the sun will shine'
again.
That the clouds will pass, and we
need the rain.
Who buckles down to a pile of work.
And in ver gives up an d never v.d!
&h?rb
Till the cask is done and the !"ii,
made sweet
While the temples thvoh with the i-.s
blood heat.
The man who win is the man who
climbs
The ladder of iit? to the ofcivr>
chimes
Of the bells of laiwr. the bells of
toii.
And isn't afraid his skin will spoil
If he faces the shine of the glaring
sun
And wr.rks in the iigbt till the task
is done?
A human engine with triple beam,
And a hundred and fifty pounds of
steam. ?Selected .
