Show SWEETENING By DOUGLAS MALLOCH WE NEED a recipe for living, We need another cookbook giving The rules successfully to make A life as well as mix a cake. We have our rules for dough and batter But living is another matter, Yet there is not another thing That needs so much of sweetening. Ah, yes, with living, as with cooking, cook-ing, We need a little forward looking. Let's study living for awhile And with our labor mix a smile. When life is rather tasteless, it'll Be wise to sweeten It a little. There's really not another thing Life needs as much as sweetening. We have our customs culinary, Yet more than that is necessary. We need another recipe: To sweeten life with sympathy, To comfort hearts, to brighten faces, And sweeten home and other places. In life, like any other thing, Put in a little sweetening. . 1933.
