Ups and Downs

All mortals have their ups and
downs, in all the modern styles :;
one day they wilt meath For
tunes frowns, the next enjoy her
smiles. I gambol when | have
an up. and when a down appears
] try to drink my bitter cup
without unmanly tears. Some
men put up gorgeous front
when all things come their way ::
they blithely tackle every stunt,
their curves are glad and gay.
They move with an elastic step,
the bluff they make is tall; we
say. These men are full of pep,
they're winners, one and all.
We've only seen them when the
ups have filled their money watts,
and they're as clipper as the
pups that chase the village cats.
But with the dismal downs on
deck, they show up cheap and
stale, and they invoke the name
of Heck, and raise plaintive
wall. And we, who wondered
and admired when they paved
up the dirt, confess that people
make us tired who shrivel when
they're hurt. Sane people calm
ly take their joys, and do not
tear their gowns, or make a
woeful, sobbing noise, when ups
give way to downs.
