Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 The Quitter by Service When you're lost in the wild, and your scared as a child, And Death looks you bang in the eye, And your sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle To cock your revolver and ...die. But the Code of a Man says: " Fight all you can, " And self-dissolution is barred. In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow... It's the hell-served for breakfast that's hard. " You're sick of the game! " Well, now, that's a shame. You're young and you're brave and you're bright. " You've had a raw deal! " I know-but don't squeal, Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight. It's the plugging away that will win you the day, So don't be a piker, old pard! Just draw on your grit; it's so easy to quit; It's the keeping-your-chin-up that's hard. It's easy to cry that you're beaten-and die; It's easy to crawfish and crawl; But to fight and to fight when hopes out of sight-- Why, that's the best game of them all! And though you come out of each grueling bout, All broken and beaten and scarred, Just have one more try--it's dead easy to die, It's the keeping--on--living that's hard.
