THE FAILURE

Copyright, 1920, by Edgar A. Guest)
He was failure. Let's study his case:
lie entered, and then didn't finish the race
Somebody passed him that he couldn't catch
And SO, In despair, he dropped out OF the
match
Quit trying, and worried and heartsick and
sore,
He decided that he wouldn't run any more.
He got a position and made a mistake
As everyone living is certain to make
And so they discharged him, But right there
and then
lie made up his mind he was doomed among
men;
He put on his hat and went out of the door
Deciding that he wouldn't think any moro
He was n failure, And yet he possessed
That self-same equipment God gives To tho
best;
'Twasnt lack OF two legs and two arms and
a brain
That made all his efforts seem useless and
vain
He failed not because he was really ,Uft
But because ne always so ready 10 outt
