| Euthenics is a science which,

IWill bring to both the poor and rich
| Transcendent satisfaction.
| If this leaves you bit nonplussed,
Well make it short and snappy,
And simply state that it is just
The art of being happy.
!But happiness, of course, depends
J On what man may long for,
Upon the purposes and ends

/ While senator's and congressman
/ Would eardnestly endeavor
! To talk and talk and talk again
| And keep it up forever.
! The more this science we peruse
| The more it has us guessing
To let all men do what they choose

Were statesmen talking all the time
