“The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.”

 I talk to him when I'm lonesome like;

And I'm sure he understands.
When he looks at me so attentively,
And gently licks my hands;
Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
But I never say naught thereat.
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
But never a friend like that.
