As Good As Your Dog
If you can start your day without caffeine,
if you can ignore aches and pain,
if you can resist boring people with your troubles,
if you can take criticism without resentment
and blame without resentment,
if you can ignore a friend's limited education
and never correct him,
if you can resist treating a rich friend better
than a poor friend,
f you can relax without liquor,
if you can honestly say that you have no prejudices,
then my friend,
you are almost as good as your dog!
