From then till now, in all things of this world
'Twas ever so, that prohibition stem
Begets the dire condition 'twould avoid.
And since to be a perfect rounded man
Or woman, each must widest knowledge have
Of good and ill, so that in choosing they
May choose the best in life, may it not be
That, rather than the prohibition stern,
We cultivate the growth of self control,
That we may temperance practice in all things.
So long as there is Evil in the world,
And that will be long after we are dust,
So long will Prohibition be a law
If made, broken again as soon as made.
Rather let us for temperance give our voice—
Temperance in all the good things of this world
'Twas ever so, that prohibition stem
Begets the dire condition 'twould avoid.
And since to be a perfect rounded man
Or woman, each must widest knowledge have
Of good and ill, so that in choosing they
May choose the best in life, may it not be
That, rather than the prohibition stern,
We cultivate the growth of self control,
That we may temperance practice in all things.
So long as there is Evil in the world,
And that will be long after we are dust,
So long will Prohibition be a law
If made, broken again as soon as made.
Rather let us for temperance give our voice—
Temperance in all the good things of this world
March
March First, a gay young Monarch he,
As bold a blusterer as can be,
With manners just a bit too free!
He swings and buffets girls about,
He minds not if they smile or pout,
(And turns umbrellas inside out.)
See how, with wild fantastic glee
He's made an ice-boat out of me!
As bold a blusterer as can be,
With manners just a bit too free!
He swings and buffets girls about,
He minds not if they smile or pout,
(And turns umbrellas inside out.)
See how, with wild fantastic glee
He's made an ice-boat out of me!
