Have You Ever?

Does your lot in life content you? Are they coming as you like?
Are you satisfied with just a daily wage?
When your barber shop is idle or your hands are on a strike,
Have you ever thought of writing for the stage?

Perhaps you are a plumber, and it's rather dull in summer;
Some congenial task your leisure might engage.
While you're waiting for an order to repair a broken pipe,
Have you ever thought of writing for the stage?

Or perchance you are a tinsmith, or a janitor may-hap,
Or a writer for a daily printed page.
Whatever be your station or your daily occupation,
Have you ever thought of writing for the stage?

Improve each idle minute. There is fame and fortune in it.
You may be the georgemcohan of your age.
Nearly everybody tries it, so we venture to advise it.
Have you ever thought of writing for the stage?
