altered as we swing around the smooth-worn curve
to the familiar point in the Identical circuit. There

There is lion in the way: lion is in the Streets.
What lot of little toy lions some of us who

success!
We complain of headache because we have to
get up so early or else it makes us sick to be on
night shift
We ought to give the boss few pointers
running his business. Our fell ow workers are all
bonehead
We have to stand long; or sit all day
and acquire dyspepsia. The factory is too cold: or
the Office too hot.
We ought to get a raise: or somebody is stand
ing in with the boss and cutting out. Or some
body else is sbirkng and carrying his share:
two jobs Tor one pay envelope.
We can't see any prospect ahead somebody else
is profting by our genius.
Oh, what joyous variety of
rake up for jawing about job. And then, of
course, if we had gone into other line would
have made millions by this time.
Perhaps, yes; but usually, Probably if we
could swap jobs with the envy, would
be just disappointed in three months, and just
grouchy now.

more than imaginary Frankensteins which set up
