THE ‘BUSTED' MAN.
Let others sing of the heroes. The honoured and cherished van : But I sing of another Less fortunate brother. The neglected and busted man. All join in singing t he praises Of the great, the good, and the trusted. But seldom is heard One sympathetic word For the man entirely busted. ’Tis said the world is charitable. That mankind is always just. Though few there be Who are able to see That the noble sometimes bust. Just let the wheel of fortune Make the Crcesus poor again. And friends will shy And pass him by As they do other busted men.
