Little Albert has a way
of driving all the neighbors mad”
a trait, his mother likes to say,
that he borrowed from his Dad.
Let the moon rise late or early,
Albert’s little voice will trill
as he plays his ukulele
underneath the window sill.
When Dad gets up to sing along,
their voices piercing through the air,
the neighbors know there’s something wrong
and fall down on their knees in prayer.
Mother says they’re being spiteful
barely holding back her tears,
and thinks Dad’s voice is quite delightful
for someone who’s been dead for years.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
