A Little B;t More

He isn't the least little bit unlike you,
Nor the least little bit unlike me:
He hash t more brains, or more talent,
It's true.
Nor anything else we can sec.
Yet he really is different. There is
something he's found,
A secret that gives him high score.
For he does all the work that he's paid
to do
And-a little bit more,
Should You ask. he would say: 1T is
part of the game.
And the games on the level. the
square;
Who follows the rules will win riches
And ali that is splendid and fair"

may he quite wrong.
You may scott, rihald laughter may
roar,
! He draws pay every week for the work
he has done.
And-a little bit more.
