If this was your last Friday
Would it be your best?
(This is question number one,
On Toerag's silly test).

If you had the opportunity,
Would you change the things you've done?
(This is question number two,
Go recheck number one).

Are you going to do a worthwhile thing,
For someone that's in need?
(Think about it carefully,
(It's question number 3).

Have you hugged your kids or called your folks,
Kissed your spouse at your front door?
If "none-above"-then skip this one,
(That's question number four).

Have you stopped and smelled a rose today?
Did it make you think and sigh?
If not then stop and do it now,
(Don't answer number five).

If you answered all the questions,
With "No-I haven't yet"
Then change your day-retake this test,
Or a "zero's" what you'll get.

I like this side of you too.
Very true words.

I think this is a quiz that could be carried in a purse or wallet.
