. Old Man Opp. "..
. "Some ton are so disrespectful
to Opportunity that they refuse
to speak to him on the street and
xTu-,otherg are s0 irreverent that they
i n, u:a u:. u,
talk of him behind his back as
'Old Man Opp'."
The best friend you've got in all th' world
is Old Man Opp.
He pase by your bouse each day an'
always makes a stop.
He isn't blessed with time, of course; he
hasn't long to stny.
But if you're watchin' for him, he will
help y' mow your hay.
An Old Man Opp will help y' beat th
Gloom God's line o' dope;
He'll boost y' up the ladder with a fresh
supply of hope.
You'd better fijc those bhaky steps, an' oil
your front-yard gate
An don't forget that Old Man Opp hai
not much time to wait.
When y' hear a spooky tappin on th'
frosted window pane, ..
Or there comes a low-toned rappin'
through th' fallin o' th' rain,
Don't get frightened at it, neighbor,
though you're shy of guns an' lead;
Don't think it's same bold burglar wh
would steal your stove an' bed.
Don't let your face get scared nor think
that bad man lurk outside,
But beat it toward the sound you hear
an' ope th' front door wide.
The wolf was out there yesterday, with
his dentistry in yie'w.
But now it'a likely 01d Man Opp who
wants to talk with You!
John Nicholas Beffel, in National M ga
zine for. March.
