Don't hide in the rain <br />When the sun won't shine <br />Don't wish on the moon <br />When the stars fall down <br />Don't stare at the fire <br />When the coals aren't hot <br />Don't play in the snow <br />When the traffic stops <br />Don't run to the end <br />When the race is late <br />Don't bend to the wind <br />When the going's tough <br />Don't sing to a tune <br />When you don't know the words <br />Don't count on them being <br />any more than they are <br />Don't choke on your pride <br />When mistakes are made <br />Don't bet on a winner <br />When the odds are high <br />Don't listen to advice <br />From a frog or a mule <br />And if you do.... <br />Remember, <br />It's never too late to find fish in a kettle<br /><br />Alice Anne Gordon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-short-philosophy-on-how-not-to-live-nonsense/
