Ode to the Sgclcss Dollar.

Friend Dollar. whom l salted when
my life was in its prime.
Your earning power goes on and on,
unchecked by march of time.
My strength has waned my back is
bent, my pep" has oozed away,
Yet you keep toiling blithesomely two
dozen hours per day
Your arteries don't harden, and your
eyesight doesn't fail.
With youth that is eternal you so pill
ing up the kale!
| worked for you when l was young,
When locks entwfned my brow
Since age has made me bald and gray,
you're working for me now!
Your children-they are legion--all
are working for me- too.
Though born a few years later.
they're no youthfuler than
youi
You even have NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ars earned by dollars earned
Yet still you are young as when my
youths mad fires burned.
I'm glad l worked and got you'll arm
gladder still that !
Put you where you worked for me as
years went fleeing by.
Your brothers that ! threw away or
boarded in a sock
think with abject shame of them.
an idle, shiftless flock!
Some day I'll have to quit my Job;
they'll lay me on the shelf.
Then those who do not know will say:
Poor guy, He needs the
pelf!"
But I will chuckle In my throat and
chortle in my glee.
For l shall know you're working still
to earn my keep for me.
] need not freeze, / need not starve.
because my job Is gone
In that well managed savings bank
you'll still be delving on.
And all the family you've raised will
ever ever be
At work with cheerful loyalty to raise
more coin for me.
