'Don't Get Excited'

   'Excited's' a word causes conversational bother
     Exhilarating in one sense, overanxious in another

   'Don't get excited,' ... 'No, do' ... 'No, don't' 
    ~ Alright, already. I will, but I won't

Hm! Very interesting! Depending on the situation, excitement can be quite the joy or an unhappy can of worms! Great poem to ponder Gershon, makes one think! :)

Whoa. Caution: Thinking can be dangerous, especially these days. You'll never teach at an Ivy League School, Bj, if you keep thinking. Tone it down, ok? ... LMAO... Who would ever want to teach at Harvard, Penn, or MIT, and work for one of those three Presidential witches? ... Thanks for the appreciation, my friend.

Sometimes excited is good for us and other times it isn't. Mad, Scared or Happy? Hmmmmm. Another cute one Gershon. I liked this one a lot. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB
