II weren't such lazy brute
ia use each active, waking hour,
To bring me fame and vast repute
And fortune and tremendous power.
I'd write the books I've dreamed about
I'd sing the songs I've planned to
sing,
I'd never yield to fear OF doubt
But win In spite OF everything.
II weren't such a lazy brute
I'd never loaf with careless folk
Whose ways are low and dissolute
Who look at life as half Joke,
I'd never join a poker game
And nary frame OF pool I'd shoot
Such things would fill my soul with
shame
II weren't such a lazy brute.
If weren't such lazy brute
I'd listen 10 ambitions CALL
I'd make each moment bear me fruit,
I wouldn't yield to pleasures thraM,
/ wouldn't loiter, browse and shirk,
Procrastinate and dodge my job
I'd be a gluttOn for my work
And climb above the common mob.
Yet, when this all is said and done,
Perhaps I'd never gain repute
And-gee, I'd miss a lot of fun
II weren't such a lazy brute.

She was frankly out for loot.
She had played the same part IN the

tending parties had reached a dead
lock. then stepping in TO decide the
struggle and reap spoils.
All through the war her politicians
had played both sides and taken
brides running into the millions.
In the fall OF 1916 they believed the
deadlock had been reached and Ru-
manias weight would turn the balance.
The higher allied commands were
convinced Rumania would be wiped
