Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
Every serious situation must be treated with the proper level of humor.

There was a young man from Boston.
Bought two blueberry scones, but lost one.
Upon his return home;
He found it under a stone.
Ate them both to have none.

There was a young man from Lansing,
With an affinity for singing and dancing.
Advising members of the MSU football team,
On a celebratory end-zone routine.
To see an increase in touchdown passing.

There once wss a man from Pierre.
A vaunted cross-country skier.
Gave up his sport for a bigger thrill.
Ever since he’s gone downhill.
Ended his hobby to make it a career.

There was a young Moose from Bottineau.
Had a severe aversion to lots of snow.
To remedy the situation.
He moved South in our nation.
To Louisiana’s city of Thibodaux.

When I was young, time was naught. It moved at glacial speed.
In middle-age, time was a tool, used to clothe and feed.
In later years, time is a gift, to be given to those we love.
Time is a seed, planted and grown, tended by The Gardener above.

There was an eclectic Aardvark from France.
That ant-eater wore pantaloons, not pants.
A great thirst for knowledge had he.
Earned himself an advanced degree.
A Masters in Fine-ants.

Life is impromptu . . . It cannot be rehearsed.
You fly by the seat of your pants . . . your course can’t be reversed.
Without a plan you wing it . . . satisfying an impulsive thirst.
Life is full of uncertainty . . . Eat your dessert first!
Describe one positive change you have made in your life.
It Started When I Lost Something
An Atom walks into a pub and seats himself at the bar. The bartender notices the rather somber look on Atom’s face as he takes his order. Returning with a Manhattan on ice, the bar-keep inquires as to the cause of his client’s dour disposition. Responding in a rather glum tone, the Atom says, “For me it’s the worst thing that could ever happen. I’ve lost an electron.” The bartender in reply says, “Are you sure?” The Atom , “Yes, I’m positive.”
