Overturned thoughts says a lot
About whose we are and what we want
We want to live
Without any hardships
To eat all we want and stay slim and trim
To be deny any exercise or just a minute or two
But let me look athletic and beautiful too
Why do things have to be hard
We ought to just be able to get what we want
Without all that struggle and wishing
You know just see it and get it
Don’t prolong my gratification
Why eat the cake at all…
Just give me the frosting
Why should I save – just give I to me now
That is what all the advertisers are telling me
I don’t need to work hard
Just let me rest right here and give me what I want
So programmed are we by the marketing hordes
That we feel neglected and unloved
If everything we want isn’t at our door
So what is the answer asked to this old bard
Just remember yes always remember
Hard stuff is hard!!!!

Hardships make the beautiful things in our lives seem even more special.
