PROGRAMME
THREEPENCE
“UPS AND DOWNS”
So often have we used the phrase “The Ups and Downs’’ of life,
A common conversation piece by everyone—and his wife,
But write them down, your “ups” and “downs’’—Let conscience by your guide,
Then note! The “ups’’ we soon forget, but “downs’’ are magnified!
So let us turn the list around, suppress our “bad luck” tale,
And look for sunshine in each cloud, let cheerfulness prevail;
It could be worse a thousand times, just think and you’ll agree, Without our ‘‘ups” and “downs” twould be a huge catastrophe!
No cliffs, no vales, no lakes, no dales, no hills, no “sheltered” side,
No “prices changed ”, no “quality up”, no illness—but no pride,
No friends in need—no need for friends— Let s be content, dear friend, And take our “ups ’ and “downs” of life, and try our ways to mend.
Forget our troubles, share our joys, and try to help those who Are not so lucky as ourselves, just watch our friendships grow,
For life's worthwhile, whene’er you Smile at “ups” and “downs , you see—
So come “up” and enjoy the Sing, come “down”, enjoy your tea!
L. CROWTHER.
