A JOG-TROT PAIR
Trite usages in tamest style
Had tended to their plighting.
“It's just worth while,
Perhaps," they had said. "And saves much sad good-nighting."
And petty seemed the happenings
That ministered to their joyance:
Simple things,
Onerous to satiate souls, increased their buoyance.
Who could those common people be,
Of days the plainest, barest?
They were we;
Yes; happier than the cleverest, smartest, rarest.
