I wanted to get ahead, so a Phrenologist I met
And a Podiatrist to get my foot in the door
A Chiropractor gave me a stiffer spine; I'll bet
It's ramrod straight...who could ask for more

A Physical Trainer got my belly in line
A Doorman held them open for me
A Chronologist helped me find the time
Drill Sergeant made me all I can be

And after many grueling years and operations
I let the lamp of my soul light the world
Going forth to conquer every occupation
Before I knew the sound of laval swirl

I have since found myself an edificeer adept
At scaling daily the mountain of my debt

I liked this a lot ali.......a great read here!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

*groan*!

Debt bad!

You always seem to know how to make light of a not-so-light situation.
