• There's many a toast I'd like to say,
  If I could only think it.
  So fill your glass to anything,
  And, thank the Lord, I'll drink it. 
  
  
  Variant:
  
  I used to know a clever toast, 
  But now I cannot think it, 
  So fill your glass to anything, 
  And damn your souls, I'll drink it!

• A toast to bread, 
  as without bread, 
  we'd have no toast.

• A toast is a boast or other compost
  To a guest or the host or one we love most;
  To a Chink or some gink that is blacker than ink --
  Or any old thing for a chance to drink.
  
  [1926 Morley]

• When called upon thus suddenly
  For sentiments or toasts
  The few ideas that I possess, 
  Flit instantly -- like ghosts.
  The only thing I think of now --
  That seems at all worth saying
  Is -- Here's to you! May you soon receive
  The gifts for which you're praying!
  
  [Charles Frederic Goss]
