Human Nature by Carlos Ashley

Human Nature
by
Carlos Ashley

You can study human nature from Creation up to now;
You can analyze and speculate on why and when and how;
But you'll find no truer proverb than that often wailed complaint,
"They're fer you when you're winnin'; they're agin' you when you ain't."
