Srinivas Veepuri Poet Verse

The Extra Mile

The Extra Mile Poetry Contest

 placed 3rd
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        You better go the extra mile	
	In order to make others smile	
	Take care how not to be hostile	
	
	Help humans to revive					

	Leave not people to their own fate
	With their worst woes, yours you relate				
	Truly, it’s a wonderful trait
						
	From it, joy you derive

	Give confidence to a loser
	Transform totally a boozer
	Play well the role of a schmoozer

	To let mankind survive
