Toasts of the Town
We are approaching the season for graduations and weddings when many toasts will hail:
Here's to the little girl who lives on the hill -
Her father owns a liquor store and I love her still.
As you slide down the bannister of life - may the splinters be pointing in the right direction.
Here's to our first parents - Adam and Eve-
who wore fig leaves and that's all.
Here's to my favorite season, Autumn -
When the leaves begin to fall.
Too much work and no vacation -
deserves at least a small libation.
So hail my friends and raise your glasses -
Work is the curse of the drinking classes. (O. Wilde)
