Get Your Own Back Have the Last Laugh

Summons somewhere up the courage
that has managed to get you to this
point in your life thus far

And drag yourself clinging kicking
and screaming somehow onwards up

If only for if nothing else and no other
particular reason than not giving
life the satisfaction 

Of the experience of seeing and feeling
what it is like to be on the recieving end

Of having two fingers or the bird flipped
at you

Simply for the fun and he'll of it

And remember this they who laugh last

Twinkle with an everlasting smile

Which cometh with a lifetime guarantee

And others will intern surely bouyed on
bye your inspiration will be bound to
wishfully follow in your wake

Because the first and most important 
domino of them all is the initial one

Otherwise no one else will and has
anyone to follow
