Classic Poem

indoors and out

Another foolish boy behold,
Engrossed with silly aims,
With tools, the which he cannot use
Himself and table lames.

And all his precious time he spends
In vain desire and toils
And yet he nought accomplishes
But all his clothing spoils.

Take warning from this dreadful sight
Nor asses imitate,
Instructive, useful books do read
Then all the rest may wait.
