If you have a reputation fair
And you're held in high esteem
If your character's above reproach
And your name is one that's clean
If your nature's meek and lowly
And you attitude's sincere
If your manners are worthy of applause
And your temperament's not mean
Please guard your actions carefully
For this world's looking for a flaw
Remember the camel's back was broken
By one tiny little straw.
