He analyzes well today
My own mistakes of yesterday:
“I’d not have done it quite that way-
A little more or lees, I’d say,
Would Just have seen that problem through.”
(I know this chap, and so do you.)
Small credit ought to go to him
Who tells with fresh and eager vim,
When things are written off and done,
About the battle he’d have won.
And he’ll be watched more closely than
His self-effacing fellow-man,
To see if he shall stand or fall
When his turn oomes to lug the ball.
He’ll make mistakes, as any man
Will make who does the best he can.
Don’t be too quick to criticize
That effort of the other guy’s,
For when our back’s against the wall
Things may look different, after all.
