Robert W Service - Take It Easy
Work rating: Low

When I was boxing in the ring
In `Frisco back in ninety-seven,
I used to make five bucks a fling
To give as good as I was given.
But when I felt too fighting gay,
And tried to be a dinger-donger,
My second, Mike Muldoon. would say:
"Go easy, kid; you`ll stay the longer."

When I was on the Yukon trail
The boys would warn, when things were bleakest,
The weakest link`s the one to fail -
Said I: "by Gosh! I won`t be weakest."
So I would strain with might and main,
Striving to prove I was the stronger,
Till Sourdough Sam would snap: "Goddam!
Go easy, son; you`` last the longer."
So all you lads of eighty odd
Take my advice - you`ll never rue it:
Be quite prepared to meet your God,
But don`t stampede yourselves to do it.
Just cultivate a sober gait;
Don`t emulate the lively conger;
No need to race, slow down the pace,
Go easy, Pals - you`ll linger longer.
