Failure.

Has success your pathway logged.
Everywhere you turned.
Never left your heart in doubt,
Never left you spurned? =
Followed on your drift.
Poured the gold into your lap
As a Midas gift?
Hns fulfllment close pursued,
Over-brimmed your glass.
Left you naught for which to yearn.
Naught to come to pass?
Then you have been robbed of much
Strengthening for men;
II at first you do not fail,
Try, try again.

Once in q while dentist is SO
rough that he hurts a woman's mouth

bucket of warm water and a scrub

When a girl discovers that she
can't get mans wages by holding
down a job, she throws up the job
and gets them by marrying man.
A bee can sting those who inter
fere with him when he is busy. But
a busy man isn't that lucky.
OF course, being a man, you hate
to admit it. But the fact is that
