ltIaa / aver been your fortune

Has It ever been your fortune
On a pleasure seeking trip
To watch the smiling gentleman
Who gives the biggest tip?
Have gou noticed how the walters
Bow before he heayes view,
While their scant infrequent glances
Fall like icicles on you
Have you sat in patience waiting
While he scanned the bin OF Fare,
With advice ON hidden tidbsts,
From the fninions round his chair?
Have you fre.ted, growing madder,
And, with lightning in your eye,
Pounded on your empty tumbler,
While the moments ambled by?
Yet that's the smiling gentlman
Who scorns his household board,
And always swears the bills are more
Than he can we'll afford.
Yes, that's The smiling gentleman
Who soves a royal time.

lmplores him for a dime
