Try It, You'Ll Like It

If you are able to maintain A positive attitude in spite of All the horrific things that are going on Every day around the world Then you are truly blessed Happily I include myself in this fortunate group The trick is to rise above all the ugly stuff And realize, the world will go on Whether you worry about things or not Sadly your one small voice Will have very little impact on world events Trust me, I've lived a long life You too can live a longer, happier life With this positive attitude As Mikey used to say... “Try it, you'll like it” © Jack Ellison 2014

Perhaps I need to join your group and quite the old one! Though I might halfway disagree about that "one small voice"... don't most great changes begin with just a tiny insignificant voice? Soon it will grow into a whole cathedral of voices all saying the same thing, no? :)

Can't say I remember, sad to say. Then again I don't watch much TV. Hope you have a great day!

Try it, You'll like it! That's Grandpa Trolls favorite comment about food... Then Dragon tries it and... here comes the upset tummy train... Whoo! Whoo! Trolls can eat any thing in any combination... Not so little Dragons... We all have a positive attitude here, too... Our motto is... It too will pass. With Dragon that motto helps alot.

The commercial was 'Let Mikey eat it.' Then 'Mikey likes it!' It was one of my favorites.
