Knowing what you know now about life…
from the knowledge you’ve acquired every time you win…and every time you lose…
If you could, this moment, determine how to live the rest of your years…

If spread out before you…were all the qualities you could possess…
which ones would you choose to bring you peace and happiness?
Of course we all have different answers…different qualities we’d like to possess…
but wouldn’t it be wonderful if the qualities we choose…
led to not only our own…but to everyone’s happiness?
Now most of you have heard of the Sniffinhoofs.
Because they are a famous family who deal in roofs.
If you need one they always say
A Sniffinhoof roof will always pay!
Well Sardino is a rascal turned 29.
Has women you wouldn't believe doing him all the time.
The Sniffinhoofs would rather you didn't know it.
Because they say his hot business keeps their hot business in the pit.
Well Poetry Soupers, you better believe that Sardino doesn't let that get him down.
He keeps on taking his women out on the town.
The only thing he does that the women don't like.
Is eat sardines out of the can while riding his bike.
He lives up to his name and is heir to these roofs.
Don't you wish you belonged to Sardino's family the Sniffinhoofs?????
* The life of a ficticious person.
