“The Test of a Man is in His Conversation”
-Ecclesiasticus 27:5-8
Friends are the chief ornaments of a man’s life
Through fishing trips and schoolyard baseball games
The brotherhood of barracks and camp and field
And ideas served and volleyed in courtesy
Among those men who have seen something more
Of the world than movie screens and gossip ‘zines
Men as familiar with rifle and rosary
As with a crescent wrench and single-malt
Men who can work both plow and metered line
Then lift a glass in thanks when the first stars shine
