MY DUCKS ARE MOST DEFINITELY NOT IN A ROW

 

My ducks are most definitely not in a row

The whereabouts of some of them I do not know

And I’m almost certain one of them is a crow

PHYLISOPHICAL WISDOM

 

Please don’t fret, because

Today is the tomorrow

We worried about yesterday

And all is well as you know

FORTUNATELY YOU HAVE TWO HANDS

 

Fortunately, you have two hands

And hopefully you’ll discover,

One is for helping yourself,

And one is for helping others

DON’T FOLLOW THE HERD

 

Don’t follow the herd,

Just think for yourself

Try to remain independent.

And be very careful

When following the masses

As sometimes the M is silent

WE DON’T HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD

 

We don’t have all the time in the world

Make each day count, is my view

So, focus all of your efforts on today

And do the things you really want to do

JUST THINK OF YESTERDAY AS HISTORY

 

Just think of yesterday as history

And see tomorrow as a mystery

Just accept today for what it is, a gift

that’s we call it the present clearly

PLEASE DON'T PURSUE HAPPINESS

 

Please don't pursue happiness

It will just make you feel crappy

And its not the road to happiness

So, stay off that road and be happy

A GREAT MIND IS NOT EASILY DEFINED

 

A great mind is not easily defined 

But its measurement is oft unspoken

For a great mind is like a parachute

It always works better when it’s open

A THOUSAND MILE JOURNEY # 2

 

A journey of a thousand miles

Begins with a single step apparently

Well, that’s the philosophical view

It begins with a flat tire in reality

A THOUSAND MILE JOURNEY # 1

 

A journey of a thousand miles

Begins with a single step apparently

Well that’s the philosophical view

It begins with a broken fan belt in reality

DON’T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED

 

Don’t take life for granted

Treat each day as a gift

They’re aptly called the present

And each one gives you a lift

DOES THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

 

Does the pursuit of happiness

Leave you ultimately unhappy

Then don’t pursue happiness,

Instead, you should just be happy

BETTER TO REMAIN SILENT AND BE THOUGHT A FOOL

 

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool

Than to speak and remove any and all doubt

I wish I had heard that proverb before I spoke

Keeping quiet would have been a very good shout

AT WHAT POINT DO MISTAKES

 

At what point do

Mistaken repetitions

Made over time

Become traditions

THE OLD SAYING GOES

 

The old saying goes

“If you can't beat them, join them”

But a rethink is called for,

“If you can't beat them”,

Rather than joining them

You should “beat them”,

Because they will be expecting

You to “join them”,

As a result you will take them

Completely by surprise

I USED TO BE INDECISIVE

 

I used to be indecisive

At least I thought so

But I am now quite sure

That I don’t actually know

TEAM WORK IS IMPORTANT

 

Team work is important,

In fact its second to none

Because it makes it easier

To put the blame on someone

ONE SECRET TO A HAPPY LIFE # 3

 

One secret to a happy life

Is simply this in my view

If you make a lot of money,

And good fortune smiles on you

Use it to use help others

That is wealth's true value

ONE SECRET TO A HAPPY LIFE # 2

 

One secret to a happy life

Is this and nothing more

Once a year, go somewhere

You’ve never been before.

LIVE A FULL AND SATISFYING LIFE

 

Live a full and satisfying life

Make your mark and don’t regret it

But measure your success by what

You had to give up in order to get it
