Edgar Guest - The Better Job
Work rating: Low

If I were running a factory
I`d stick up a sign for all to see,
I`d print it large and I`d nail it high
On every wall that the men walked by,
And I`d have it carry this sentence clear:
"The Better Job that you want is here!`*

It`s the common trait of the human race
To pack up and roam from place to place;
Men have done it for ages and do it now,
Seeking to better themselves somehow;
They quit their posts and their tools they drop
For a better job in another shop.

It may be I`m wrong, but I hold to this
That somewhere something must be amiss
When a man worth while must move away
For the better job with the better pay;
And something is false in our own renown
When men can think of a better town.

So if I were running a factory
I`d stick up this sign for all to see,
Which never an eye in the place could miss :
"There isn`t a better town than this;
You need not go wandering, far or near
The Better Job that you want is here!"
