Mydraulic Fluids

If I was to be avoided, it should be like the plague.
Many things in life are done by half measures,
half heartedly and half arsed.
If I was, let's say for arguments sake, homosexual, 
I would definitely wish to be flamboyant and raging,
not just a little bit of a fruit.
If I was a motorised vehicle, because car is not correct,
I would not wish to have any blank dash spaces.
I need all the buttons to function.
If I was a human being, I do try hard to be,
I would reach out to others and stroke their heads,
that is after all where the driver sits.

Thank you very much Keith, these are my thoughts on how we don't always give 100% or fully commit to things, I thank you for your kind words?
