Gaylord's Notebook:

There was a priceless treasure that once was offered me--
A little, sparkling diamond named Opportunity.
'Twas neither offered once nor twice nor thrice, but ten times ten,
And ten times ten I turned away--too busy for it then.

One day both gift and giver went silently away
And never have they come again since my last chance that day.
But now those things I valued more when it was offered me
I'd give to have my jewel again--lost Opportunity.
