Life's a Grabber

Life's a grabber, ain't it?
With all of its up and downs
Never know what's in store
Best to be a clown!

Whatever life hurls at you
Just laugh and giggle away
Time to worry tomorrow
Tomorrow's another day!

This is my own philosophy
Won't work for everyone
Give it a whirl, let it go
Kick it up, have some fun!

Life will be long and happy
With sunshine every day
Don't worry bout the forecast
Just smile and chuckle away!

Life's a grabber, ain't it?
Don't waste it on some frowns
Click your heels, skip along
Turn nasty upside down!

Carol Eastman Date: 9/4/2014 12:34:00 PM Oh Jack! Dragon is SO literal! We had an early run without a misunderstanding to send us off. Amazing! But decided to run the track at the park! Not so good! Mr. McNasty (Sheriff of CrazyLand) saw us and stopped us making me put Dragon on his leash. At that, Dragon grabbed Mr. McNasty by the feet and turned him upside down in the air! So Not good! Cause Dragon began skipping and giggling down the track. He accidently bumped the sheriff's head on the ground when I told him to put him DOWN! Sigh!

J. R. Corbin Date: 9/4/2014 8:53:00 AM Right there with ya, buddy. The world is so messed up, if we don't laugh, we'll just cry. It's like Jimmy Buffet says, "If we weren't all crazy, we just would go insane!" Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 9/4/2014 9:39:00 AM YEEHAW! Just watched a concert from Atlanta with him and Zach Brown! You can't help but smile when he performs! Have a super day, my friend!
