Edgar Guest - Man’s Experience
Work rating: Low

A SCRAMBLE for gold,
And a scurry for place,
A brief pause for loving,
A kiss, an embrace,
A ring; then the altar,
A vow to be true,
Then back to the turmoil
To scramble for two.

For man`s the provider,
And ever he strives 
To care for his loved ones
And brighten their lives. 
A year or so passes,
Still toiling is he, 
"A boy!" says the doctor,
"Now scramble for three."

For this is the common
Experience of men, 
A small raise in salary
Comes now and then. 
But ever we hurry
And scramble by day, 
For the fam`ly increases
As fast as our pay.
