When I ask you the secret of your success,
(Huge car, mansion home, and fat larder)
It’s legerdemain I expect, I confess,
And not mere advice to work harder.
“Disdain paltry pleasures and shoulder the yoke!”
I know is the standard retort, but
I’m one of the millions of practical folk
Who’ll always believe there’s a short cut!
