The man who never had to toil To gain and farm his patch of soil,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky and light and air,
Never became a manly man
But lived and died as he began.

paraphrasing of this stanza from poem GOOD TIMBER.

To acquire and cultivate his plot of land,

Who never had to fight for his fair share

From the sun, the sky, the light, and the air,

He never grew up to be a alpha male

But he lived and died the same way he started
