I think the trick is…

Not to care

Not to think

Not anywhere

Not to speak evil

To wear white

To dress warm

And sleep tight

And to eat well

And brush your teeth

Ignore all vices

And underneath,

To thank the Lord

Through thick and thin

Even if you lose,

He always wins.

And to wait a minute,

Before you dash,

And save some money,

And give some cash,

And living forever,

Is not that fun,

Diamonds are best,

But gold is fun.

And kids have merit,

Elders too,

Purple seems crazy,

But so is blue.

And voices are weapons,

Crafted from tears,

And voices of fears,

Haunt for years.

And solely your wards,

Come back throughout time,

And saying it once,

Is never mind,

So just tell us it’s over,

That you’re hitting your break,

That you’ll crave it all,

For goodness’es sake
