Classic Poem

VERSE

Never treat others with scorn,
We're only here 'cause we're born.
Although you're " way up "
You may not " stay up. "
Stop tooting your horn.
Why boast of the wealth you possess
High on the hill of success?
On friendship you never should frown,
You'll need the same friends
On the weary way down!

REFRAIN

So love thy neighbor,
Walk up and say " How be ya!
Gee! but I'm glad to see ya.
Pal, How's tricks? What's new? "
Love thy neighbor,
Offer to share his burden,
Tell him to say the word 'n'
You will see him through,
Especially
If there should be
A beautiful girl next door.
Say to that girl next door,
" Don't think I'm bold,
But my mother told me
To love thy neighbor, "
And you will find your labor
A great deal easier,
Life'll be breezier,
If you love thy neighbor.
