Likes and Dislikes
I had a little talk today -
An argument with Dan and Ike:
First Dan, he said ’twas not his way
To do the things he didn’t like.
And Ike, he said that Dan was wrong;
That only cowards dodged and hid.
Because it made him brave and strong,
The things he didn’t like, he did!
But then I showed to Ike and Dan
An easy way between the two:
I always try, as best I can,
To like the things I have to do.
by Arthur Guiterman: as published in “Youth’s Companion”
