IT’S NO USE KICKING.
It's mighty disappointing wheii you've sat and fished all day, And had to grin and bear it while the fish all got away. You’ve done the very best you could with hook and line and bait, And nothing else remained except to trust to luck and wait,You may as well take comfort in tholazy summer day, And feel the breeze and watch the shifting shadows in the bay, And do your best to tell tho truth when you go home at night, 'Cause there’s no use kicking if the fish refuse to bite. And when the years are passing—'most as swiftly a 6 the days, And you find the things you long»*d for have all turned to other ways. It’s better to appreciate the laughter and the song Thun take a solemn vow that all the world is going wrong. It’s hard to be convinced that you have struck a losing chance, No matter if the game be love, ambition, or finance. But the days are full of sunshine, and the stars all shine at night And there’s no use kicking if the fish refuse to bite.
