Who's never satisfied;
He seeks the fault In every plan,
And throws the good aside.
To please him were futile task;
Pile up the joys OF earth
For him alone, for more he'll ask
And kick for all he's worth.
I've studied kickers in my day
I've seen them frown and smirk,
I've heard them gTowl. but may say
i've never seen them work,
Oh mol a kicker never aids
Or tolls for any cause.
His is the --latest Of trades

And he will grumble day by day
