LORD, LET ME LIVE like a Regular Man, With Regular friends and true; Let me play the game on a Regular plan And play it that way all through; Let me win or lose with a Regular smile And never be known to whine, For that is a Regular Fellow's style And I want to make it mine! Oh, give me a Regular chance in life, The same as the rest, I pray, And give me a Regular girl for wife To help me along the way; Let us know the lot of humanity, Its regular woes and joys, And raise a Regular family Of Regular girls and boys! Let me live to a Regular good old age, With Regular snow-white hair, Having done my labor and earned my wage And played my game for fair; And so at last when the people scan My face on its peaceful bier, They'll say, "Well, he was a Regular Man!" And drop a Regular tear! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HENRY PURCELL by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS EPITAPH ON S.P., A CHILD OF QUEEN ELIZABETH'S CHAPEL by BEN JONSON A WHITE ROSE by JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY ON A BUST OF DANTE by THOMAS WILLIAM PARSONS THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER by ALEXANDER POPE ROUNDEL by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS ON SEEING THE SUN SHINE ...
