Optimism In Any Key

don't put off 'til tomorrow
that which you should do
tomorrow's just another day
slipping away from you

sing your song of sixpence
keep you pockets dry
pay all you owe in hellos
before you say good-bye

sun will rise in the early morn
full moon's iridescence will glow
but time passes by so quickly
they’ll be gone before you know

so pull up by the bootstraps
that part of you that's weak
let your heart know where you're going
but say nothing to your feet!

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

You betcha and pinch her and make her holler! As Lori said, "easier said than done." Still you do what you can and let the rest do it's best. These modern-day parables are good standards to live by. Myself, I've broken many more than I've kept.

Very nice advice! Now what did I have in mind to do today? ...

Verschiebe nicht auf morgen
was du heute kannst besorgen ...

How many times my mother told me this.

Will I learn before it's too late?

Many thanks to you Miss Lori and JerryPat! (Its great to 'say' that again. Its almost as though you two were a couple...)

Please don't say "a couple of what".
