Luck

l often hear of lucky guys, for
whom the fates have no rebuke !;
while some laboriously rise, they
gain the summit by f1uke.
They oanter gayly up the road,
unsecured. unbruised, while
luckless men are chafed and
wearied by their load, and lost,
or foundered in the fen. But
when | meet the lucky cuss, and
analyze and parse his cruves, |
find he's like the rest of us
he only gets what he deserves.
He is a gent who sanely plans
to gain an honor or buck; and
so he climbs, while also-rans are
grumbling sorely of his luck.
He is a hustling delegate who
is resolved to work and win; he
moves along while others wait
for some fake ship to saunter in.
His wholesome ardor never
flags, he yields to no fell circum-
stance, while human failures
shake their rags and say they
never had chance. The kind
of luck this fellow sees will stick
with him through life, | guess;
for it is based on qualities that
evermore command success.
The faker with the gilded brick
may think he's lucky for a day;
but all his profits vanish quick,
and all his honors fade away.
Luck's not confined to neighbor-
hoods, to humble shack or fret
ted hall; if you're the guy who
has the goods. you'll find luck at
your beck and call.
