Should I

Should I just be pleased 

Where all decisions are eased 

Just go with the flow 

And take life slow 



Should I never have to worry 

Go nowhere in a hurry 

Always have a smile on my face 

And know my place 



Should I take pride and joy 

And be a good boy 

Know what people think 

Make decisions at a blink 



Should I laugh at every joke 

Never use my finger to poke 

Always do a good job 

And never be a slob 



Should I love every day 

Know what to say 

Know when to talk 

Not be like cheese and chalk 



Should I be all of these things 

Wait and see what life brings 

Always check my temper 

While away until December
