Yesterday

H. G. Wells: "If you fell down yesterday, stand up today! You saw me blush at my latest mistake Even laughed, for heaven’s sake Slipping, sliding, into the mud Twisting, turning, I knew this wasn’t good Everyone somehow, holds on by their pants Rolling, strolling, with old Levi fakes Dusting down denim, in just a few shakes All I need now, is to take this next chance You’ll soon find out, I’ve got what it takes.

A poem of deep thoughts based on an H. G. Wells quote was brilliant. I have to agree with it.
