Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Refreshing Advice

Curl up with a book's deep reflections
   Turn off that electronic device
Stay away from artificial refreshments
   And follow refreshing advice

Take a dip in a clearwater lake
   a nap in the middle of the day
Go for a walk when you feel stale
   Learn to meditate, let your mind sail

What have you got to lose?
   You don't want to turn to booze
If you light up a marijuana joint
   You'll surely have missed the point

You arrived here all new and all fresh
   ~ Now live life relaxed and refreshed
