389. A reformed character

Woodrow Wilson said:
“I used to be a lawyer,
But now I am a reformed character.”

I say:
I used to be a doubter,
But now I am a reformed character.
I am now a staunch believer.

I used to be a man-hater,
But now I am a reformed character.
I am now a universal lover.

I used to be a truth-examiner,
But now I am a reformed character.
I am now a constant truth-learner.
