"I WANT a chance to show what I can do,' <br />He sighed when others seemed to pass him by; <br />'There are great problems I could master, too, <br />Somehow, I never get the chance to try. <br /> <br />Give me a chance to show what I can do,' <br />This was the burden of his daily whine; <br />'I might achieve success as well as you, <br />If opportunity were mine.' <br /> <br />One day they bade him fill another's place, <br />Another's work they offered him to do; <br />He grumbled and a frown passed o'er his face, <br />'I am not paid to do the work of two.'<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/his-chance/
