“One of us here would not be felt,

One of us here would quickly melt;

But I’ll help you and you help me,

And then what a splendid drift there’ll be.”

By-and-by is a very bad boy,

Shun him at once and forever;

For they who travel with By-and-by

Soon come to the house of Never.

Politeness is to do and say

The kindest things in the kindest way.
