Always, Always ... I Repeat Always ... I Can Return To the Dawn

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The rich need poor relations and poor friends

more than the poor need the rich.

The rich need poor old Cousin Betty

to be glad of a home

so she can be stuck on the farm

looking after the balmy progeny

or the dogs.

They need wastrel gambling nephew

for the same reason—

they need poor second cousins

to send their old clothes to,

or their mistakes in shopping,

so they don't feel extravagant.
