The Hunters

Each day you’ll see them out in force,

     And always there’s a “reason”;

They are not armed, they do not try

     To bag game out of season.

But still they hunt and hunt and hunt,

     Until the tear-drops blind them;

They’re hunting suites and tenements

     And scarcely ever find them.
