Life's Lessons
I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening, When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid.
