Jeeze You Have Reached Your Limit

Jeeze You've Reached Your Limit Jeeze You've reached your limit Quit your insane bellyaching! Before you explode ~ You can't spring a swing Not unless you're in a ring When you fling your fist Like Muhammad Ali's hissed “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” ~ They'll tell you to bring it on and you'll miss Put you in a bear hug if you persist Give you a big kiss And go away laughing and singing their heads off ~ Be a smart cookie Stop being crazy and Give it a rest Float away like a butterfly Let the bees make their honey So they won't give you a sting By: Eve Roper 8/7/2015
