Here's to the four hinges of society.
May you fight, steal, lie and drink.
When you fight, may you fight for justice.
When you steal, may you steal away from
bad company.
When you lie, may you lie at the side of your
sweetheart.
And when you drink, may you drink with me.
To old friends
and new beginnings…
here’s to the next ten years!
