Gold Bricks

When some one comes to tell vou Of a fine, get-rich-quick scheme, And pours into your ravished ears His glowing, golden dream,Do not be taken in, lad, By hook, or crook, or trick, A get-rich-quick scheme's usually A spurious gold brick.

When some one tells vou of a iob That's easy as can b., Be sure the job's not suitable For those like you and me. The rvorkless jobs are not worth rvhile, They lack both punch and kick, An easy job is usually A spurious gold brick.

\\'hen some one tells you of a place That far surpasses this, And paints in flaming colors Its glory, pride, and bliss,Just turn a deaf ear toward himWhat's more, just turn him down, The best place for you, laddie, Is your ou'n HOME TOWI{.

When sone one says that renting Beats HOME OWNING bv a mile. Call up the psycopathic wardAnd send him there in style; For the man who goes on renting While years are fair and fleet, Will garner in the harvest time A sheaf of rent receipts.
