HE MUST DIG

He wanted a job, and like every else
He wanted good one you know;
Where his clothes would not soil and his hands would keep
clean,
And his salary mustn't be low.
He asked for pen. but they gave him a spade.
And he half turned away with shrug,
But he altered his mind and seized the spade-he dugi
He worked with will that is bound 10 succeed
And the months and years went along.
The way il was rough and the labor hard,
But his heart he kept filled with a song
Some eered him and sneered at the task but he plugged
Their words seemed TO disturb him a bit-as he dug
The day at last when they called for the spade,
And gave him pen in its place.
The joy of achievement was sweet TO his taste,
And victory shone in his face
We can't always get what we hope for at first
Success cuts many queer jigs
But thing sure-a man will succeed-if he digs
Selected.
