Ur be the things I am wiser to know:Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe. Four be the things I'd been better without:Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt. Three be the things I shall never attain:Envy, content, and sufficient champagne. Three be the things I shall have till I die:Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
