TEN MASTER MASONS
TEN MASTER MASONS, HAPPY DOING FINE, ONE LISTENED TO A RUMOR AND 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; ON 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 MASER MASONS SAVED THEIR LODGES FATE; BY SHOWING OTHERS KINDNESS, THEN THERE EIGHT,
EIGHT MASTER MASONS, LOVING 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 LODGES 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.
