The Blessed

Enjoy your life for what it is-
the work, the beer and women.
Stay back from strife that makes you sad-
the law, the stressed and skrimmin.

And when you're sure your life is good-
the toast, the bait, the primmin.
Look back for all the chaste you've passed-
the waste, the flack and trimmin.

And when you're sure you've had enough
take back what you've put in.
Without the thought for helping out
the path the blessed were given.
