THE BEST PLAN.

Some drink because they’re hungry, And some because they’re dry; Some drink to keep them in good health, Thev do not want to die. Some drink because they are too hot. And some because they’re cold; Some drink to strengthen them when young, And some because they're old. Some drink to keep them wide awake, And some to make them Hleep; Some drink because they merry an*, And some b«*cause they weep. Some drink when they make money, Ahd some because of loss; Some drink when they are happy. And others when they’re cross. Some drink when they’re hard at work, And some when they do play; Some think it right to drink at night. While others drink by day. Some drink for sake of company. While others drink more sly; And many drink but never think About the reason why. Some drink when they a bargain make, Some when the money pay; both when they buy and when they sell, They drink good luck to-day. Some say they drink for pleasure. And some they drink for pain; Some say ’tis good, some very bad. Hut never once refrain. (Hut there’s one plan, by far the best, Now listen while I tell; Leave drink alone, from this time on. And then you’ll prosper well.) “Australian Prohibition Reciter."
