NOT HIS JOB “I’m not supposed to do that," said he When an extra task he chanced to see "That’s not my job, and it's not my care, So I’ll pass it by and leave it there." And the boss who gave him his weekly pay Ixist more titan his wages on him that day. "I'm not supposed to do that," he said, “That duty belongs to Jim or Fred. ’ So a little task that was in his way That- he could have handled without delay Was left unfinished; the way was paved For a heavy loss that he could have saved. And time went on and he kept his place But he never altered his easy pace. And folks remarked on how well ':e knew The line of tasks he was hired to do; For never once was he known to turn His hand to things not of his concern. But there in his foolish rut he stayed \nd for all he did he was fairly paid. But he never was worth a dollar mere Than he got for his toil when the week w r as o’er: For he knew too well when his work was through \nd he’d done all he was hired to do. If you want to grow in this world, young man, You must do every day all the work you can; 'f you find a task, though it’s not your bit, And it should be done, take care of P; And you'll never conquer or rise if you Do only the things you're supposed to do. —By Edgar A.
