Presenting to the emergency room, patient "BB,"
a dad who swallowed a snow globe carelessly.
Out of ALC, voices crying, "YOLO,"
PO, he took a big gulp of fantasy snow.
NAGI, his stomach churned immediately.
He could hear little elves dancing with a BEG.
Brought to the ER unconscious with HBP,
HAGMA, and tachypnea, unfortunately.
A CT scan revealed a kidney infection.
MDs dispensed an antibiotic injection.
Dialysis was administered, but he was still KO.
His kidney's were decorated in crystals of "snow."
Ten WKs later he could walk again (to the bar),
but will likely need dialysis 4EVR.
You are what you eat, (BB made a recovery)
but don't be a snowflake, the moral of the story.
(Watch the attached video for the full story.)

YOLO- you only live once

Do it just to do it.
Do just to do, say just to say just to say, be just to be, and stay just to stay. Hear just to hear, believe just to believe, talk just to talk, and leave just to leave. Walk just to walk, jump just to jump, take a chance on a chance and hope for some luck. Give just to give but don't give up. Live just to live, and know when to duck. Dance just to dance, sing just to sing. And when you're up on deck swing just to swing. Laugh just to laugh as much as you can and cry just to cry when things don't go as planned. Remember just to remember, forget just to forget. Start just to start, and quit just to quit. Go just to go, try just to try, cause at the end of it all, we die just to die. And I know if you could you'd fly just to fly. Without rhyme or reason so why ask why? Do it all just to do it, just to say that you did. Love just to love, and forgive just to forgive.
