Maybe So

Maybe So
967

If every man got all he earned
And none got any more,
Perhaps affairs would be o’erturned;
Some men who heretofore
Have put on lordly style would fall
And meekly work away
While other men obscure today
Would loom up grand and tall
But most of us, chagrined, would find
Ourselves precisely where
We are at present, still inclined
Te think the scheme unfair
