“TAKE CARE OF ME”
From the General Engineering News
OU had better take care of me.
PERHAPS you don’t think much of me at
times, but if you were to wake up some morn
ing and realize you didn’t have me, you would
start that day with an uneasy feeling.
FROM me you get food, clothing, shelter and
such luxuries as yon enjoy.
IF YOU want me badly enough I’ll get you an
automobile and a home on the main line.
BUT I am exacting, I am a jealous mistress.
Sometimes you hardly appreciate me at all. In
fact you make slighting remarks about me at
times, and neglect me. Considering the fact
that you need me not only for the material
things of life, but spiritually as well, I wonder
sometimes that you neglect me as you do. What
if I should get away from you? Your happiness
would flee, for a time, at least, and your friends
would worry and your bank account dwindle.
So after all, I’m pretty important to you. Cher
ish me. Take good care of me, and I’ll take
care of you. I’m your job.
