But He’s Scarce



It is easy to be pleasant
     When life goes along like a book,
But the man who is rare
Is the one who won’t swear
     When the trout wiggles off from his hook.

It is easy enough to be pleasant
     When your creel is both heavy and bright;
But the fellow worth while
Is the one who can smile
     After fishing all day and no bite.
