Enough Rope/Chant for Dark Hours

From Wikisource

Chant for Dark Hours

SOME men, some menCannot pass a  Book shop.(Lady, make your mind up, and wait your life away.)
  Some men, some men  Cannot pass a  Crap game.(He said he’d come at moonrise, and here’s another day!)
  Some men, some men  Cannot pass a  Bar-room.(Wait about, and hang about, and that’s the way it goes.)
  Some men, some men  Cannot pass a  Woman.(Heaven never send me another one of those!)
  Some men, some men  Cannot pass a  Golf course.(Read a book, and sew a seam, and slumber if you can.)
  Some men, some men  Cannot pass a  Haberdasher’s.(All your life you wait around for some damn man!)
