BOOST.

Don't be like an old owl,
Stuck fast to his roost:
Get down with your shooter
And give all things boost.
Don't be a knocker,
Knocking don't pay;
It is only the booster
That prospers today.
Curse not your county
Because it is dull;
Remember that all towns
Must have a lull.
Keep your mind on the future,
Hope, work and pray;
And if you only will do this.
You will rosper today.
