The Extra Mile

The Extra Mile Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Charles Messina placed 3rd --------------------------------------------------------------------------- You better go the extra mile In order to make others smile Take care how not to be hostile Help humans to revive Leave not people to their own fate With their worst woes, yours you relate Truly, it’s a wonderful trait From it, joy you derive Give confidence to a loser Transform totally a boozer Play well the role of a schmoozer To let mankind survive
