IT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE

From the day you were born,
Till the day you die,
There is nothing that happens,
Which couldn't be worse.

They always talk, who never think.

YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HENS
If your neighbor's hens are troublesome,
And steal across the way,
Don't let your angry passions rise,
But fix a place for them to lay.

I will listen to any one's convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself.--

And every grin, so merry, draws one out.
