Put self behind; turn tender eyes; Keep back the words that hurt and sting; We learn when sorrow makes 'us wise, Forbearance is the grandest thing. Be patient, lest some day we turn Our eyes on dear ones fast asleep, And whisper as we learn and yearn, "Hdw often I have made you weep: "Some loved you not and words let fall That must have pierced your gentle breast, But I who loved you best of all, Did hurt you more than all the rest," One lesson let us bear in mind; To hold our home -folk close and fast. Since loyal hearts are hard to find And life and love so soon are past —Jean Blewett 1 LICENSES AND PERMITS We like to boast a, bit about out• country being free, But listen for a moment and I think you will agree That we spend a lot of money in this present age and day For "licensee" and "permits" as we jog along our way. If you want to drive a motor car a big truck or a bus, You have got to get a license or the cops Will raise a fuss. You have got to buy a passport would you travel o'er the sea, And that passport eost you just five bucks no matter who you b'e. If you should meet a pretty girl you think you would like to wed, You have got to get a license or the parson cuts you dead. If you would build a little home just big enough for two, You not only need the lumber, but you need a permit, too. You must have a yearly license for your boy to keeps a dog, And you sure must buy a license to go hunting in the bog, If you could stay and listen, I could show to you, my friend, A long list of needed licenses that seen to have no end. Now the Huntsville Horticultural folks 'are "urging" if you pease That we have to get a license to buy kiddies' Christmas trees. And maybe the time-approches when we'll have to show just cause Why a license isn't needed for the beard of Santa Claus. On licenses and permits now out Governments do thrive, And you've got to keep on buying as long as you're alive. And the diggers in the graveyard won't place sods above your head Till they know you - have a "permit" - from the doctor to be dead.
