A PREFERENCE
BY BertonN Braley


I'd rather be an Easy Mark
Than be Hard Boiled Egg;
I'd rather be Sucker
Than the guy who pulls his leg
For the Easy Mark has peace of mind
And the Hard Boiled Egg has
And the Easy Mark has the better
part,
When all is said and done.
I'd rather be an Easy Mark
Than be a Hard Shelled Crab,
Who always has his fishy eye
On things that he may grab;
His friends may stick the Easy
With schemes for which he'll fall,
But Hard Boiled Eggs and Hard
Shelled Crabs
Possess no friends at all.
I've hung this motto on my wall
Upon handy peg.
"I'd rather be an Easy Mark
Than be Hard Boiled Egg!"
I'd rather think that goodness
reigns
Amid the human throng,
Thus copying the Easy Mark
Yes, even if he's wrong!
