Do Or Not Do, There Is No Try



Yoda, Master of the Jedi Knights.
From the movie, “Star Wars”

Winners:DO
Losers : TRY

Trying is boring and so tedious,
Like list making, oh, my, how facetious!
Don’t buffalo your friends with the word, try.
Nor splash them with the false reasons, why!

Yes, it is unfortunately en Vogue if truth be told.
We cannot with our truth be bold!
Hiding like frightened ants from obvious reality.
Life does not work,with zero integrity!

Your word, is your most valuable asset.
If you don’t have it, my friend, you are naught.
And with no money, can it be bought.
Let us keep our word,so highly sought!

Love the poem, it speaks volumes, of 'one only gets out of life, what one puts in' I would think 'Rhyme' for the form of your poem,,,,,Stay safe, Pangie. Harry

Right on,Harry! Our true friends won’t buy this excuse nonsense. Thanks for giving me a clue,,,it was rhyme! One poet here writes I DONT KNOW for every poem. He’s been here for years, I do not understand that. Harry, I live in the wine country in CA. There are no crazed-rioters here, no shootings, no out of your mind madness. I have nothing to fear here at all. And I have read plenty on the virus. It will not run my life either,, Pangie xx Sunshine wishes. Dear Harry,

That is my husband's favorite quote from his favorite movie, so I had to read this! He used to say that to me when we first dated and I thought he made it up (no idea it was from a movie) As for the poem, I adore that first line, I feel that way so often, and I agree your word, when you keep it, is more valuable that gold!

Dear Andrea, I fell a week ago. Not good for the elderly*)). In my mind I think wildly, though. On a new iPad. Sheesh, my grandson is tutoring me. Mine was soooo old. The very first iPad and I refused all upgrades. Now, pS no longer works with the old one. I am still a VACCINE VIRGIN! Newsom is finally loosening up on wearing diapers on the face...he won’t get re-elected. But not to worry, the minuscule of mind will create a new virus ASAP and more vaccines, which are not vaccines at all. The wise...are up to this game. You, being one of the few here! I am more tired! But being a non typist takes hours. Hate the soup mail with images, will not use it! Hugs, Pangie. xx
