Squeeze in just drop of moderation,
Half of much frugality-or less,
Add some very fine consideration,
Strain off all of poverty's distress.
Pour some milk of human kindness

Put in all the happiness you can,
Stir it up with laughter every minute,
Season with goodwill toward every

Set it on the fire of hearts affection,
Leave it till the jolly bubbles rise,
