RAPID GROW Frs.

THERE was a little trouble
No bigger than a pin:
II seemed an airy bubble.
So weak II was and thin:
And yet, through constant tendins
And feeding II with strife,
II grew past compromising
Until II spoiled a life
THERE was n little sorrow.
Like those men know each day,
Which should pass with the morrow
And vanish quite away.
And yet by always brooding
Its owner fixed things so L.
This sorrow kept intruding
And laid ambition low
THE moral I've been striving
To point, with 90 much toll.
Is that woes aren't found thriving
Except In fertile soil
For happiness or sadness
You have yourself 20 thank.
And nursing care brings Madness
On that you're safe to bank
