If It’s Just the Same
Brilliant, cheerful and optimistic
Uugene Field’s life was n lasting ben¬
efit to the world. The Chicago news¬
paper men have a club named for
the brilliant writer and this is its
creed:
I've noticed when a fellow dies, no
matter what he’s been—
A saintly chap or one whose life was
darkly steeped in sin—
His friends forget the bitter words
they spoke but yesterday,
And now they find a multitude of
pretty things to say.
I fancy when I go to rest some one
will bring to light
j Some buried kindly word of sight; or goodly act long
out
But if it’s all the same to you, just
give to me instead,
The bouquet while I‘m living and the
knocking when I’m dead.
Don’t save your kisses to imprint up
on my marble brow,
While countless malediction are bur¬
ied upon me now;
Say just one kindly word to me while
I mourn here alone
And don’t save all your eulogy to
carve upon a stone!
What do I care if when I’m dead the
Boomingdale Gazette,
Gives me a write-up and a cut in
mourning borders set;
I It will not flatter me a bit, no matter
what is said.
So kindly throw your bouquets now
and knock me when I’m dead.
I It may be fine, when one is dead to
have the folks talk so,
, To have the flowers come in loads
from relatives you know;
It may be nice to have these things
for those you leave behind,
I But just as far as I’m concerned, I
really do not mind.
I’m quite alive and well today, and
while I linger here
Lend me a helping hand at times—
give me a word of cheer,
Just change the game a little bit;
just kindly swab the decks,
For I will be no judge of flowers
when I cash in my checks.
