SITS LATER THAN YOU THINK
"COunt that day lost whose slow
descending sun
Views from thine hand no worthy
action d0ne.v


Like separate strands of Irvine
three quotations of verse braid
themselves together in my think
ing today. Although they are quite
different in meter and rhyme,
they carry a single basic thought.
1t is one that / would share with
you today. Here is verse number
one:
There was a man in our town
And he had wondrous health,
But recklessly he squandered it
Accommodating wealth.
And when he saw his health
was gone
With all his might and main
He spent his money very fast
To get his health again.
And when with neither health
nor wealth
He in his coffin lay
The preacher couldn't say a
thing
Excepting Let us pray"
Verse number two expresses a
closely related thought when its
author offers us these lines:
He always said he would retire
When he had made a million
clear,
And so he toiled into the dusk
From day to day and year to
year.
At last he laid his ledgers up
And put his stock reports aside,
But when he started out to live
He found he had already died.
The third bit of verse is part of
a song that enjoyed considerable
popularity several years ago. From
it / borrowed the topic of my
''Musing' today, namely 1T is
later than you think" Here are
the words:
You work and work for years
and years,
You're always on the go;
You never take a minute off,
Too busy making dough.
Some day, you say, you'll have
your fun
When you're a millionaire,
Imagine all the fun you'll have
In your old rocking chair
Enjoy yourself, it's later than
you think;
Enjoy yourself while you're still
in the pink.
The years go by as quickly as
a wink

LOST IN THE SHUTTLE

BALTIMORE (AP)-At a big
downtown department store, a new
janitor was told to go over into
the other building and clean up the
basement"
He did. He went through the
stores adjacent building, across a
narrow alley and into a rival de-
parment store, where he spent the
day doing a dandy clean up job.
No one at the store which hired
him asked where he was. No one
at the other store asked who he
was or what he was doing.
