BOOST A LITTLE BIT, NEIGHBOR.
-4l
Anyone can aluiowt bo a knocker.
Ita easier to tear down than to build;
Then why not, neighbor, try to be a booster"?
With pessimists the world's already filled.
Yon cau't expect that things will always suit you.
In melancholy judgment, then, you sit?
No. Better far to help along a little;
Better far to boost a little bit.
It never pays to join the anvil chorus,
Or spread unkind reports about your town;
Mauy there are to hamper and retard it,
Who do their level best to run it down. .
What if our town has its little failings?
It has its good points, also, hasn't it?
Then why not to the wheel adjust your shoulder?
Why not get out and boost a little bit?
A churlish dog may bay the moon in auguish;
The frog must croak, for nature willed it so;
The mule was placed on earth to do the kicking
As any good zoology will show)
The good Lord has provided for the knocking,
So if a wider groove you long to fit,
Adopt this as a motto, "He a Booster" x
And then get out and booBta littlerbit.
