Read something last night that made me laugh and had to write something similar in poem form. I hope you get a kick out of it. I know I did.
WHO ARE YOU?
By Pat Severin
If you can do it all without assistance from an upper,
If you can be, eternally, a cheerful, pleasant guy,
And though you have some aches and
pains, you don’t on drugs rely,
If you resist complaining and don’t share your boring
troubles…
Because you know reliving them can
sometimes make them double,
If you can eat the same old food and somehow still be grateful,
And be excited anyway with every single
plateful,
If you can understand the fact that sometimes folks are
busy,
And if they are you never get yourself
into a tizzy,
If you do not resent it if you’re criticized or blamed…
Because you take it all in stride, that
your mistakes are named,
If you can recognize your stress but somehow conquer
tension,
Accepting it’s the way life is and need
no intervention,
If you lie down and always sleep, wherever you may be…
It must be true, I credit you, and, yes,
the world can see…
That if these things are true of you, there’s only one
conclusion,
I mean just one, and now I’m done, let there be no
confusion…
That you must be, most probably, the faithful
family
dog!
