Robert W Service - Resignation
Work rating: Low

I`d hate to be centipede (of legs I`ve only two),
For if new trousers I should need (as oftentimes I do),
The bill would come to such a lot `twould tax an Astorbilt,
Or else I`d have to turn a Scot and caper in a kilt.

I`m jolly glad I haven`t got a neck like a giraffe.
I`d want to tie it in a knot and shorten it by half.
or, as I wear my collars high, how laundry men would gloat!
And what a lot of beer I`d buy to lubricate my throat!

I`d hate to be a goldfish, snooping round a crystal globe,
A naughty little bold fish, that distains chemise of robe.
The public stare I couldn`t bear, if naked as a stone,
And when my toilet I prepare, I`d rather be alone.

I`d hate to be an animal, an insect or a fish.
To be the least like bird or beast I`ve not the slightest wish.
It`s best I find to be resigned, and stick to Nature`s plan:
Content am I to live and die, just - Ordinary MAN.
