Story 204
                                             Not Blithesome



                              The sharecropper works the field with a scythe.

                              The hard work keeps his body very lithe,


                              Though of the profit he keeps but a tithe.

                              Thus, the songs that he sings are not so


                              blithe, For deep inside his spirit does writhe.

                                            How Success Arrives



                                     It is not enough merely to be alive.


                                     We must strive to optimally thrive.


                                     We must have the drive to work past five,



                                     As busy bees in a hive.


                                     Then, and only then, shall success arrive.
