That in an onguard moment he might get

Whenever friends approached him. he was

And always had story OF he had to meet

And everyone who knew him nodded aaGely.
as they said
"Nobody'll &c, his Thousand beans until he's
fully dead,'
And so he went his joylcss way nor would he
spend cent,
He Sidcsteppcd every grabbing scheme that
genius could invent.
And when he felt his thousand beans his
spirits swelled with pride
To think he had his pockets locked with every
thing inside.
But there's no man who will not fall; nc wed
widow. Men, .
He wed widow. and you know what hap

That lock was never patented. no pants were
