Orange Juice On Demand

We can't expect to agree
   nor should we expect to disagree
      on everything

   We can't expect to please
   nor should we expect to displease
      everyone, all the time

   We can't expect to win
   nor should we expect to lose
      every game we play  

   Be we ought to demand of a man
      ~ Squeeze every last drop
         right into the can
