Living the Dream

~ Never Better ~ How are you doing, my friend Never better, I say Well you don't look so OK It's perhaps true, but I pray that I greet everyone with a smile and a hug from basketball players to little tiny bugs Show the world a cheerful face the rest of you won't frown even when life seems to be putting you down Never bitter, never better That's what I always say So with a tip of my cap Here's to a sunny day!

Oh, pshaw!... If you re-read your comment, you'll see that you wrote 'sweet poet roll' (i/o 'role'). So, remove the word 'poet,' and I become a 'sweet roll!' :) That much I'll admit, as I have too much of a sweet roll (ha, ha) around the middle. Not terrible or anything, but I'm still getting used to not having rock-hard abs anymore. ~ Vic Tanny
