Robert W Service - Class-MatesRobert W Service - Class-Mates
Work rating: Low


Bob Briggs went in for Government,      And helps to run the State; Some day they say he`ll represent      His party in debate: But with punk politics his job,      I do not envy Bob.       Jim Jones went in for writing books,      Best sellers were his aim; He`s ten years younger than he looks,      And licks the heels of Fame: Though shop-girls make a fuss of him      I do not envy Jim. Joe Giles went in for grabbing gold,      And grovelled in the dirt; He, too, looks prematurely old,      His gastric ulcers hurt: Although he has a heap of dough.      I do not envy Joe. I`ve neither fame nor power nor wealth,      I fish and hunt for food; But I have heaps of rugged health,      And life seems mighty good. So when my class-mates come to spend      A week-end in my shack, With lake and wood at journey`s end      —They envy Jack.
