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.
