Worry Wart

If you spend too much time worrying That you'll never find love, You probably won't. If you spend no time worrying That you love the wrong person, You probably don't. You worry 'bout this, You worry 'bout that, You fret yourself into a stew. You worry you'll win, You worry you'll lose, You worry you'll end up on the six o'clock news. What I'm trying to say, As this poem evolves, Is worry causes more problems Than it ever solves. Life is hard for us all, Those who cope must be tough. That's not to say I don't worry, I just try not to worry About all the small stuff.
