The Meanest Man.

The meanest man on life's highways
Is not the man who's bent
On making loans for thirty days
At ten or twelve per cent,
He's not the mar who wore his brain
Into frazzled wreck
To make button Of a wart
That grew upon his neck.
He's not the man who saved his heels
By walking on his toes.
He's not the man who saved his teeth
BY talking through his nose.
The meanest man is not the one
Whose greed insatiate
Caused him to climb the fence to save
The hinges on the gate.
The meanest man on earth today
Is not the man who totes
A quart of shoepegs to his horse
And palms them off for oats.
Nay. all these men are gentlemen
or wondrous heart, and kind.
Compared to him who is so mean
He always whips behind.
God bless the man who's kind elough
10 just look straight ahead,
And never growls because kid
Hooks on little sled.
May health be his, and length of years; !;
And may he fortune find
For nothing is too good for him
Who never whips behind.
