TEN
MASTER MASONS
Ten Master Masons, happy, doing fine;
One listened to a rumor, then there were nine.
Nine Master Masons, faithful, never
late;
One didn't like the "Master," then there were
eight.
Eight Master Masons, on their way to
heaven;
One joined too many clubs, then there were
seven.
Seven Master Masons, life dealt some
hard licks;
One grew discouraged, then there were six.
Six Master Masons, all very much
alive;
One lost his interest, then there were five.
Five Master Masons, wishing there
were more;
Got into a great dispute, then there were four.
Four Master Masons, busy as could be;
One didn't like the programs, then there were
three.
Three Master Masons, was one of them
you?
One grew tired of all the work, then there were
two.
Two Master Masons with so much to be
done;
One said "What's the use," then there was one.
One Master Mason, found a brother --
true!
Brought him to the Lodge, then there were two.
Two Master Masons didn't find work a
bore;
Each brought another, then there were four.
Four Master Masons saved their
Lodge's fate;
By showing others kindness, then there were
eight.
Eight Master Masons, loving their
Lodges bright sheen;
Talked so much about it, they soon counted
sixteen.
Sixteen Master Masons, to their
obligations true;
Were pleased when their number went to
thirty-two.
So we can't put our troubles at the
Lodge's door;
It's our fault for harming the Lodge we adore.
Don't fuss about the programs or the
"Master" in the East;
Keep your obligation by serving even the very
least.
