The hardest job in the world is Helping

1t calls for all our wit, gumption, judg-

and moral force-and then we fail four
times out of five.

fewer know what TO do with it,

And it's as hard to give wisdom as it is
TO give money.

Tia hard for me TO state the measure.
I would I had that social SAVIOR
Whereby l might return your favor.
But well ] know Ito my regreD

And 70 I've had some hesitancy
To leave cards at your resldency.
Yet. tho my courtesy has been ailing.
Your own has ever been unfailing
And rain or shine or best or worst
You visit me upon the first
An honor, almost past the telling.
Which falls upon my humble dwelling
O pardon. fir. my incivility.
Surely / lack all real gentility:
l did not mean to carp or grumble,
When | pronounced my home as humble.
! quite-forsiye my careless tone

And being such. It's allaiuring.
Its decorations are enduring:
Its planning. painting. heating plumbing
Are adequate and most becoming
Please pardon my approximations
Against repairs and alterations.
There il but one small favor, truly,
Even that do hot urge unduy
And yet. feel your warm benigniiy
Might grant IL without loss OF dignity.
May I. then have your kind assent
When next you call. 20 raise my rent?
