what He Got out of 1t.

He never took n day OF rest
He couldn't afford it.
He never had his trousers pressed;
He couldn't afford 1t.
He never went away, care free
To visit distant lands to see
How fair a place this world might be-
He couldn't afford it.
He never went to see a play;
He couldn't afford It.
His love for art he put away:
He couldn't afford it.
He died and left his heirs a lot,
But no tall shaft proclaims the spot
In which he ues-his children thought
They couldn't afford it.
