Born To

I often wonder -

Are we born to die?

Or are we born to live?

Because either outlook is scary

And either outlook can change your life.

The Mummy's First Job

He pounded the pavement feeling crummy
his job outlook not very sunny
then he saw a sign
help wanted come inside
becoming a crash test mummy dummy.

Watch Out For Eva

Eva Brick a rather large Shot Put girl,
Has a mean outlook and an almighty hurl,
Don't get in her way
Cause you won't have a say,
She'll pick you up and give you a twirl.

In Spring, A Floral Clock

In Spring, a floral clock
Time shows us.
Love's own love-flushed dial!
Fairest smile!

In Autumn, a pale-blown
Leaf's o'replus.
Age's own soured outlook!
Crinkled. Crook.

Harvest What You Sow

Change your perception
and life changes with you
If you always give the same daily
you will get the same back
But start changing goals or outlook
and your life might change too

Show On You Shall Grow

Show On You Shall Grow

On us all a certain show shall grow;
Greatest of all is "Good Morning Joe;"
World shook;
Great outlook;
See things positive so face will glow.

So Optimistic

Have a great birthday, Brother Ric, 
Positive thinking makes success; 
An outlook so optimistic 
Learns from failure to gain chances.

Wooed Of These Nooks

Harmless its outlook
World's from that city
From out each wooed nook
Breathed, as blown through!

A small hut's, small bay's;
And for sea cavern's
What as deep, sunrays
Dives love, into.
