Success is a played-out game, success,
success!
because what have you got when you’ve got
it?
The young aren’t vitally interested in it any
more.
Only third-rate swabs are pushing to get on,
nowadays.
Getting the better of other people! Who cares?
—
Getting the better of them! - Which better, what better,
anyhow?
Our poor old daddies got
on,
and then could never get off
again.
If only we could make life a bit more just
so that we could all get along gaily
instead of getting on and not being able to get off
again.
