FINDING FAULT

Some men seem born distressed.

in every cause ,hev find the flaws.
the spavins and diseases. They
kick at home and when they roam
about the town they grumble. and
every talk they makes a knock,
and every step a stumble. They
scare, they scowl. they hoot. they
howl, at every forward move
ment: they hurt the town. and
hold it down. and balk at each
Improvement. There is trail OF
woe and wall wherer they've gal
livanted: the booster hates such
moldv skates and thinks they
should be planted They are bore.
the town grows sore beneath thei"
ceaseless wiggings; the band will
play some music gay when they
have skipped the diggings. Just
look around and note. cogS
wound! how much the crouch IS
hated. then make a VOW to clear
your brow. and keep Your bile
abated. So call a halt if finding
fault is now your daily pastlme: !:
