The Difference
When Bill Smith went to college They said he was a "grind": Because at sundry times he tried To cultivate his mind. Now no one ever seemed to take Much interest in him, Though oft he burned the midnight oil Till morning stars grew dim.
They let him smoke strong cigarettes, And drink, (if he could find it); When he staid late at balls or shows Nobody seemed to mind it. He smoked till all his room was blue, Irregularly dined, For he, you see, was striving there To cultivate his mind.
Now Jim Smith made the football team, And different was his fate, A howl went up both long and loud If he staid out too late. He couldn't smoke or take a drink, He slept from dusk till dawn, For big, brave Jimmie Smith m'dear Was cultivating brawn.
It seems that one who trains his brawn Must keep himself in trim, And never, never jeopardize His health and zeal and vim. And that's the difference in our day, Betweeri the rules that bind The man who educates his brawn And one who trains his mind.
