Robert W Service - Successful FailureRobert W Service - Successful Failure
Work rating: Low


I wonder if successful men          Are always happy? And do they sing with gusto when          Springtime is sappy? Although I am of snow-white hair          And nighly mortal, Each time I sniff the April air                    I chortle. I wonder if a millionaire          Jigs with enjoyment, Having such heaps of time to spare          For daft employment. For as I dance the Highland Fling          My glee is muckle, And doping out new songs to sing                    I chuckle. I wonder why so soon forgot          Are fame and riches; Let cottage comfort be my lot          With well-worn britches. As in a pub a poor unknown,          Brown ale quaffing, To think of all I`ll never own,—                    I`m laughing.
