Question

Chunk the stanzas with (/) or (//) and read it aloud.

Life is queer with its twists and turns. 
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a fellow turns about when he might
have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
you may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man.
