Boat in a Moat

Don’t be stopped by rocks in your path, look around like a giraffe,

 

Find another way around, ask for help where it can be found.

 

Don’t be sleepy and stay in bed, start moving early to get ahead.

 

Don’t be a boring couch potato, grow in the sun like a big tomato.

 

Don’t be lazy - good for nothing, be someone - accomplish something!

 

Don’t be just another stick in the mud, join together and stop the flood.

 

Don’t be still like a bump on a log, be the jump of a friendly frog.

 

Don’t drink whiskey, don’t take drugs, instead, lend support and give out hugs.

 

Don’t think only of yourself; look for others who need your help.

 

Don’t be a leaky boat in a stagnant moat, be the motion in the surging ocean!
