A Heap O' Livin' by Edgar A. (Edgar Albert) Guest
page 43 of 175 (24%)

It matters not what goal you seek
Its secret here reposes:
You've got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses.

THE OTHER FELLOW

Are you fond of your wife and your children
fair?
So is the other fellow.
Do you crave pleasures for them to share?
So does the other fellow.
Does your heart rejoice when your own are
glad?
And are you troubled when they are sad?
Well, it's that way, too, in this life, my lad,
That way with the other fellow.

Do you want the best for your own to know?
So does the other fellow.
Do you stoop to kiss them before you go?
So does the other fellow.
When your baby lies on a fevered bed,
Does your heart run cold with a silent dread?
Well, it's that way, too, where all mortals tread --
That way with the other fellow.

Does it hurt when they want what you cannot
buy?
