‘ LEARN TO TAKE THINGS EASILY’

To these few words, it seems to me,

A wealth of sound instruction clings;

O Learn to Take things easily —

Espeshly Other People's Things;

And Time will make your fingers deft

At what is known as Petty Theft.

‘ Fools and Their Money soon must part!’

And you can help this on, may be,

If, in the kindness of your Heart,

You Learn to Take things easily;

And be, with little education,

A Prince of Misappropriation.
