what you do,
Who kicks with most prodiglous ease the whole
long season through,
Who kicks IL anything goes wrong, and kicks II

Who kicks because he likes TO kick, and kicks
with all his might
We know some awful kickers on this wicked
mundane sphere,
Who came on earth by accident and kick because
they're here;
They make themselves uncomfortable and othei
people sick,
They drive their friends to suicide and still they
always kick.
We know a man who kicks and kicks the blessed
livelong day,
And If there's naught to kick about he's kicking
anyway;
At times when things are going right and othei
men would smile,
He kicks on general principles, and kicketh all
the while.
