1934 What Shall We Drink by Magnus Bredenbek

Toasts

^ 187 May we kiss whom we please and please whom we kiss. —Anon Oh,some that's good and godly ones they say that it's a sin, To troll the jolly bowl around, and let the dollars spin; But I'm for toleration—and for drinking at an inn! —John Masefield

Here's to the present—and to hell with the past! A health to the future and joy to the last!

To you and you. Our friends kind and true, In glasses tall. We'll drink to one and all For auld lang syne!

—Drinking Song

Here's to the poorhouse—may we never enter it!

There's a beautiful toast To a feminine host. There's a swing to the ladies, God bless'em!

But the women should cry With their glasses on high, A toast to the men who dress'em!

—Anon

Let's drink to Love, the darndest most contrary, vexatious- and distressing thing in life—and the mostcomfortingand divine. To that supreme creation of God—Mother!

A toast to dad. The dear old lad. Who toils from day to day, Little appreciated, Mostly depreciated. But fighting our troubles away!

To father—next to Mother the finest parent in the world! Here's to the hand of friendship—may its clasp always be warm!
