From the cares that demand all the
coin they can earn.

Isn't always a struggle to keep in the
race
For there must be some people who
read the long list
Of problems in checkers, in chess and
in whist.
There's some one whom life in it's
kindlier drift
Invites to reflections on psychic up

And some one who follows the people
who pen
The "Questions and Answers" seen or.

There's always some one who is seek.

A bet on pinochle game to decide.
The masses may hustle and hustle
and climb,
But there's always some one who has
plenty of time"
