Isn't 1t The Truth

(From The Oil World)
These proven fields now spouting oil,
Were wildcats once, just common
soil,
Until a man, who had the nerve
And from his purpose would not
swerve
For all the knockers in the land
Until his drill had found the sand,
That put the works upon the square
And made the man q millionaire.
The same chance stands today
To make the liquid sands pay
If you've the nerve to take fiier,
To boost your bank account up higher,
Oil stocks will sure your pockets fill
If you will help to push the drill.
Faint heart ne'er won maiden fair
Nor cold feet made millionaire.
