The Pessimists
Some men just sit and wait for things
And never try to hustle,
They aroan and moan the whole day lo1e
While others have to rustic.
Hoping and waiting SO they say,
For something to turn up
They never work and seldom pay
When they drink from Pleasures cup.

From their lips at morn or night.
Are rawlings of a mind diseased
And worthless in mans sight.
They storm about the. government.
But always soto voice
Their sentiments of discomfort,
Are always of their choice.
They never hear the singing birds,
Or see the flowers in bloom
Their shallow mind is occupied
With little thoughts of gloom.
Surely they miss the sparkle of
The stars that CLEAN at night
Real silver beams from up above,
That make the world more bright.

The drip of falling rain?
Perhaps they do but only leer
Because they see no gain.
They miss the Groom of the male bird

And sing CHEEKY song.
