But many of us consider time do money;
something to waste something to despise; some
thing to get rid of with yawn.
Once year everyone should take hour off and
look himself in the eye and inquire: What am about
and where if anywhere, do think I'm gong?"
No matter what you did with 1919, no matter what
the year did to you today you start fresh with clea
confiding hopeful baby year. It's up to you whether,
when this baby dies it will be dsiusoned sinful glad
to sneak away and leave you to your cussedness
whether it will go with best wishes, regretfu at leaving

If everybody did the best they could for year,
nobody would have to worry about the millennium;
it would be here long before Christmas.
