Grab life by the balls
and squeeze hard.
When young go wild and free
for old age would be dull indeed
without memories of reckless times
to thrive on.

Consider the safety net he offers you.
He’ll take good care of you.
He’s reliable.
He’ll be there when you fall, and
you may come to love him in time.
I know he’s not demonstrative, and
your heart doesn’t miss a beat.
But he’ll give you a life that is comfortable,
and get you back on your feet.

Go outside and mix.
Join the world.
Talk to anyone, smile
at everyone you pass.
Sit on the grass and
people watch.
Interact.
Just get off those
confounded contraptions
and LIVE

It’s best to own up to the simplest mistake
because not to, would only be folly.
If sorry doesn’t work, then plead insanity
It’s OK to be quite off your trolley
It’s best to recover from any such mistake,
as fast as you possibly can.
Get it right off your chest then lay it to rest,
and move on to your very next plan.
As we all grow, we must make that mistake,
from which we always step back and retreat.
How many times must we wobble and fall,
before finally finding our feet?
How dull life would be without a single mistake,
to refer to at some later stage.
And how sad not to have in our memory bank,
a mistake that was worth a week’s wage!

Sample a cupful of mirth.
Top it up with good cheer.
Discover the elixir of life
And enjoy it, whilst you’re still here.

Try it, you might just like it
Give it your best shot
Surprise yourself
Attempt the unimaginable
Enter freefall
Enough said!

Trust no-one but yourself
Follow your intuition
Believe in your wildest schemes
With hope, they can come to fruition.
Please don’t swear,
I find it offensive.
Speak with a civil tongue.
Express yourself in a
manner that’s acceptable.
Surely you know right from wrong.

Live it, love it,
embrace it. For
tomorrow, it will be
but a memory
