Show THINK TWICE, OR EVEN THRICE Think twice before you mail the note in which you give your anger vent, in which you recklessly devote yourself to skinning some poor gent. For doubtless when your anger cools you'll kick your spine up through your hat and say : "I was the prince of fools to send a man such rot as that!" Think twice before you pass along the scandal that you heard last night; you may do some good man a wrong that years .of effort can't set right. And though the story true may seem, why rob a neighbor neigh-bor of his goat? From your own eye remove the beam before you reach the t'other's mote. Think twice before you jaw your wife; there was a time, some years ago-, when you declared you'd . make her life as cheerful as a picture show. Alas, she took you at your word, as damsels do, and always al-ways did ; and all her married years she's heard her husband yawping through his lid. Think twice before be-fore you do a thing your soul refuses to endorse ; for every wicked act will bring the certain penalty, remorse. re-morse. Walt Mason. |
