DON’T TROUBLE TROUBLE.
If you don’t trouble trouble, it won’t trouble you; Just sidestep the worries and frets; There’s plenty of things that are pleasant to do That leave no “remorse” or “regrets ;” Fight shy of the hives where the trouble-bees buzz, They’re not to be wandered among, For if you go there you will kick up a fuss, And beat a retreat —badly stung. Don’t go where the croakers are croaking “hard times,” And forecasting troubles to come; They’ll keep you from harvesting dollars and dimes. And put all vour hopes on the bum! Don’t go where they’re moaning and groaning and “blue,” And seeing disaster ahead, Because if you do, they’ll put skids under you — And first thing yon know you’ll be .dead! Steer clear of the crowd that is wailing of woe, And bluer than indigo ink; Where trouble is brewing, be wise, and don’t go — Or it will put you on the blink! This world is a good place to live in,
and be — If you will just hold to the view, And don’t trouble trouble, but only good see — Old trouble will not trouble-you! —.T. E. HUNGER-FORD.
