<span style="color:#323232;">These are the Things that Make a Man
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Iron enough to make a nail,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Lime enough to paint a wall,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Water enough to drown a dog,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Sulphur enough to stop the fleas,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Potash enough to wash a shirt,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Gold enough to buy a bean,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Silver enough to coat a pin,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Lead enough to ballast a bird,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Phosphor enough to light the town,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Poison enough to kill a cow,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Strength enough to build a home,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Time enough to hold a child,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Love enough to break a heart.
