Count Your Blessings

Now listen up all ye poets out there Here's an adage I try to live by It seems to work for this old duffer So why don't you give it a try Upon waking up every morning Before you jump out of bed Count all your blessings one by one Keep them stored inside your head As each day presents its challenges Remember your many blessings Be thankful for all the little things Enjoy life with all its dressings Now it may not be totally foolproof But at least you're on the right track Trust me you'll be ahead of the game And happiness you surely won't lack So listen up all ye poets out there Let me know how it all works out I hope it's a positively roaring success From the rooftops you'll want to shout! @Jack Ellison 2012

For everyone who wakes up counting their blessings on their fingers and toes: may that be the one time you wished you were a centipede.
