PESSIMISM
[Welland Tribune September 8, 1905]
I never bought a block of stock,
Supposing it was low,
That didn’t stay upon bedrock
Until I let it go.
If diamonds. Some day from the sky,
Came zipping down like hail,
I know that it would be when I
Was out without a pail
If I should run to catch a train
I’d find as sure as fate,
When I the station steps should gain.
That it-the train-was late.
If I could read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I’ll bet you that the taxes there
Would soon be on the rise.
–Chicago Record.
