Poem(?) needed

[Carolyn Gierke <cgierke@SHS.K12.NY.US>]

One of the elementary librarians is having trouble finding this for a
teacher.  He wants the text of a piece of writing (he thinks its a poem,
but I'm not sure), that begins with something like:
"If you can  keep your wits about you when others have lost theirs..."

I'm sure everyone has read it.  But we can't seem to locate it anywhere.
Of course, no author was cited - it may be anonymous.

Any help will be appreciated.
