If we print jokes people say we are silly. If we clip things from other magazines We are too lazy to write them ourselves, If we don’t, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, We ought to be out hunting up news. If we do get out and try to hustle. We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don’t print contributons, We don’t appreciate true genius. If we do print them, the column is filled with junk. If we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up, we are too critical; If we don’t, we are asleep. Now, like as not, someone will say We swiped this from some magazine. Right, we did. DO IT NOW If with pleasure you are viewing Any work a man is doing; If you like him or you love him, Tell him now. Don’t withhold your approbation ’Till the preacher makes oration And he lies with lilies white Upon his brow. Form no difference how you shout it, He won’t really care about it; He won’t know how many teardrops You have shed. If you thing some praise is due him, Now’s the time to slip it to him; For he cannot read his tombstone When he is dead.
