Excerpt from Livelihood: Dramatic Reveries

Audrey, these men and women I have known I have brought together in a book for you, So that my child some day when she is grown May know the friendly folk her father knew.

Wondering how fathers can be so absurd, Perhaps you'll take it idly from the shelves, And, reading, hear, as once I overheard, These men and women talking to themselves.

And so find out how they faced life and earned, As you one day must earn, a livelihood, And how, in spite of everything, they learned To take their luck through life and find it good.

And, maybe, as you share each hope and fear And all the secrets that they never told, For their sake you'll forgive your father, dear, Almost for being so absurd and old.
