The future now is no longer hid;

For while my darling lays back to snore

I walk the floor with a howling kid;

And my son I raise from his little bed,

For he won’t stay there—not he;

And as my heel goes on a tack

I wonder what the end will be.

If you are in need of a good smart bank clerk go to Canada—the smartest ones have gone over there.
