He was never known to fret
For things he couldn't get
He went at an easy pace;
He never complained about his lot,
He lived for fifty years and not
line showed in his face.
He didn't have to slave
And he never was known to crave
place among the high;
He held that he owed the world no debt.
He lived on competence and let
The years go drifting by.
They took him up one day,
And laid his form away,
And no one shed q tear:
Go seek. his trail, go search around,
You will find but a little yellow mound
To show that he was here
