All Things In Moderation
All things in moderation,
It's a good way to get along;
For life it seems is a smorgasbord,
Of work, play, strife and song.
How can we enjoy a meal,
If we only taste one dish?
How can we have the fullness of life,
With our mind set alone on one wish?
Life is a serious matter, that's true.
We must learn to earn our keep.
Common sense tells us that all things need,
To work, play, laugh and sleep.
Equal amounts of excitement and peace,
Are important to our very existence.
It's unhealthy for us to dwell on one thing,
And obsess with too much persistence.
It takes all the fun and joy out of life,
To worry too much and frown.
By the same token it isn't wise,
To try to be the town clown.
All things in moderation.
Listen, learn and be wise.
All things in moderation.
It's a good way to live a full life.
