I'Ve Heard That One Before
"Stupid is as stupid does,"
Isn't that what people say?
How hard it must be for many,
Just to make it through the day.
"Wake up and smell the coffee,"
Or so the saying goes.
To improve your situation,
You've got to follow your nose.
How about "Catch as catch can,"
I've heard that one before.
Do the best that you can do,
Or you might wind up on the floor.
"My eyes are bigger than my stomach,"
That practice will never last.
By the look of that swollen waistline,
Maybe it's time that you should fast.
