Analysis of Litterbugs and Other Pests

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



There are always more unbelievers
Then there are believers
And there are always more trees
Then there are beavers

Otherwise the whole world would be damned

It’s always a good day to witness
In living out your faith
But don’t forget where it comes from
There is never a moment to waste

God will not waste a single word!
