Perhaps you’ve wondered why ao
many people
Don’t miimd their business better
than they do
And why they dearly love to poke
their noses
Deep in affair they have no
business to.
But if you make a tew invest
igations, *
Two reasons you will usually
And:
The first is th&t they haven’t any
business.
They second, that they have so
little mind.
