THE BUSY MAN.
II you would get a favor done

II you would got favor done
BY some obliging friend
And want promise, safe and sure,
On which you can depend,
Don't go to him who always has
Much leisure time to plan;
But, if you want your favor done,
just ask the busy man.
The mSa with leisure never has
A mcrlent he can spare;
Hes always quitting off" until
His friends are in despair.
But he whose every waking hour
Is crowded full of work
Forgets the art of wasting time.
He cannot stop to shirk.
So, when you want favor done,
And want it right away,
Go to the man who constantly
Works thirty hours day.
He'll find moment, sure, somewhere
That has no other use
And fix you, while the idle man
Is framing an excuse.
