THE T A T T L E R MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY Poor Old Tom Old Tom works with no vacation, And lie thinks his fate is sad: He passed up the education That he might as well have had. Old Tom’s always discontented, Thinking that the world’s unkind; Only carelessness prevented The improvement of the mind. Old Tom’s living in a hovel That is full of gloom and cold; He must work with pick and shovel Though he’s weak and sad and old. He grows very much dejected When his former friends ride past; Now he sees that he neglected A fine chance that couldn’t last. Old Tom works for little money; He will never get ahead. Once he thought that life was funny, But his happiness is dead. When he had a chance to study He preferred to loaf or play; Now in ditches that are muddy Old Tom toils from day to day. Boys whom Old Tom knew have risen; They had parents who were wise. He is like a man in prison, Doomed to labor till he dies. Life has little compensation For the man who learns too late That his lack of education Brings him to the drudge’s fate. Page Fourteen
