Never have I been the best storyteller
An average speller
And easy going feller
Shoutout to 'Old Yeller'
Above, below and within any cellar
With or without the use of propellers
In areas considered interstellar

Props to 'The Clan of the Cave Bear'
Concerning everywhere
Realize life isn't always going to be fair
Regardless of if you're a million or billionaire
So keep on climbing to the top of the stairs
Stay aware and prepared
While still enjoying the view from there

Feeling puzzled?
It's no joke read 'The Jungle"
You wouldn't want to slip, stumble and take a tumble
Even if you are overly confident or humble
It took so much dedication, hustle
And muscle
To get through the struggle
As well as any trouble

Respect to 'Where the Wild Things Are'
Even if it was a little different and somewhat bizarre
Whether on foot, plane, bike or car
Keep on reaching far
No matter who you are
Believe that you will become a star


Look
I thoroughly enjoyed all these books

Including 'Life of Pi'
I just can't lie
It's in our best interest to try
Despite if we can't always find out why
Keep living your life, attempting to do right
During any day and night

This is excellent, precised and highly intellectual. A huge 7 for me.
