Part Two

There’s nothing gained by whining, and you’re not that kind of stuff;

You’re a fighter from way back when, and you won’t take a rebuff;

Your trouble is that you don’t know when you have had enough—

Don’t give in.

If Fate should down you, just get up and take another cuff;

You may bank on it that there is no philosophy like bluff,

And grin.

“Grin”—Robert Service
