Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"More Toasts"

"
--_Eliot Harlow Robinson_.

Many a man thinks he is anxious to please others, when the truth is
that he is only anxious that others be pleased with what he does.

_I And Me_
I wonder just what kind of guy
Am I?
I guess it's time I took
A look inside of me
To see--
But, gee,
I cuss
I'm envious of what the other fellow's got,
I loaf a lot,
And foolish pleasures often buy--
That is the kind of sham
I am.
When things go wrong
I growl along
And take it out
On some good scout
Who's not to blame,
Whatever came--
In fact
The luck I lacked
(Or luck I had,
If mine was bad)
Was mostly my
Own fault. Why.
I
Am not a very pleasant guy,
The poorest on the human shelf--
And, now that I
Size up myself,
Whatever other folks may see,
I do not make a hit with Me.
--_Douglas Malloch_.


EINSTEIN

you read it?"
