"successful failure" by robert william service i wonder if successful men are always happy? and do they sing with gusto when springtime is sappy? although i am of snow-white hair and nighly mortal, each time i sniff the april air i chortle. i wonder if a millionaire jigs with enjoyment, having such heaps of time to spare for daft employment. for as i dance the highland fling my glee is muckle, and doping out new songs to sing i chuckle. i wonder why so soon forgot are fame and riches; let cottage comfort be my lot with well-worn britches. as in a pub a poor unknown, brown ale quaffing, to think of all i'll never own,— i'm laughing. source: service, robert william.
