THE PINE BURR '27 u N I IF lf you can keep your socks when all about you Are loosing theirs and blaming it on you, lf. when the jam is gone and others doubt you, , You make allowance for their hunger, too, lf you can wait and not be tired by waiting On tables when the pantry's scant of pies, And eat whatgs left without a trace of hating, And yet donpt look too good, nor talk too wise, lf you can play, and not make play your master, lf you can work and not make toil your aim, lf, when your tent blows down in grim disaster, You keep your smile in action just the same, If you can stand to have the bough youlve broken s Stolen by knaves to make a bed for fools, And, with a word of banter fitly spoken, Go gather more with only borrowed tools, lf you can make one heap of all your bedding, And air it on a fence rail by the wood g Q And when it rains not talk about hard sledding, And call a cinder in the coffee good, If you can jump, and run, and swim, and paddle, And yet not throw waste paper in the yard, Nor grumble at' your leader in -the saddle, Nor -ever say that anything is hard, If you can put on stunts and keep your virtue, And never wrangle out of work or such, lf neither bugs nor loving ants can hurt you, lfgmealtime counts with you but not, too much, If you can fill each swiftly passing minute, With sixty seconds worth of stainless fun, ' Your's is the camp and everything that's in it And which is more, you'll be a boy, my son. 264 e
