Pure-hearted, wise. renowned,
Who died as victory came to him

The WHINERS---Edward A. Guest.
1 don't mind man with red-blooded
kick
At a real or fanciful wrong,
l stand for the chap with the crouch if
he's quick
To drop it when JOY comes along;
/ have praise for the fellow who says
what he thinks,
Though his thoughts may not fit in
with mine,
But spare me from living to mix with
the ginks
Who go through this world with
whine.

Who is willing to fight for his rights,
And there's something sometimes in an
honest complaint

are wise,

But spare me from having to mix with
the guys
Who 60 through the world with a
whine.

can't find time for anything outside,
just plain isn't big enough for his job.
He better get another.
