BOOSTING

Boost your city, boost your friend,

Boost the lodge that you attend.

Boost the street on which you're dwelling,

Boost the goods that you are selling.

Boost the people 'round about you,

They can't get along without you,

But success will quicker find them,

If they know that you're behind them.

Boost for every forward movement,

Boost for every new improvement,

Boost the man for whom you labor,

Boost the stranger and the neighbor.

Cease to be a chronic knocker,

Cease to be a progress blocker.

If you'd make your city better

Boost it to the final letter.

Boost, and the world boosts with you,

Knock, and you're on the shelf,

For the world gets sick of the one who'll kick

And wishes he'd kick himself.

Boost, for your own achievements,

Boost for the things sublime,

For the one who is found on the topmost round,

Is the Booster every time.

It takes no more time to boost a man than it does to knock him—and think how much pleasanter for everybody.
