More Truth Than Poetry
ACTIONS AND REACTIONS.
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

I have recently read that whatever
we do,
Whatever our virtues or faults
AS labor or pleasure we daily pursue
Is the action of acids or salts.
If we rank with the great or are
classed with the small,
If people applaud or deride us,
It isn't our personal doing at all,
It's the chemicals working inside US.
This certainly eases my conscience
a lot
For whenever a duty I shirk
And remain on the lawn by my lowly
thatched cot
When I ought to be forth and at
work,
I can say to myself, with soul
easing grin:
eff I haven't become a great writer
1t is due to the union of citrate
of tin
And anhydrous chloride of nitre.
When the ads of the savings banks
fill me with dread,
Lest my money will soon be all
spent,
And when-as is certain to happen
I'm dead
The family will not have cent.
I can cheerfully think Though 1
know it is true
That the wolf is just outside the
door.
1t is only because that C7H2
Combined with S5Cu4"
And yet there are drawbacks to every
excuse
Should there happen turn of The
tide
This chemical business would play
the old deuce
With my natural personal pride
If I ever should verge on the pre-
cinctS of fame
Or amass a few millions OF pelf,
I should want to announce that I'd
beaten the game
And deserved the whole credit
myself!
