very worst luck! —
your problem is telling them
life's bound to suck.
So few parents do.
I know, WTF!
Even those whose lives arrive on silver platters
soon or late deal with unpleasant matters.
Mummies and daddies and tutors and nannies
cannot protect you from all of the baddies
lurking in shadows, themselves ill-equipped
to play any role in this encrypted manuscript.
However hard we endeavor to strive
to do minimal harm and still survive,
we foolish and clumsy unhairy apes
should keep close at hand lots of duct tape.
I recall Grandma Moses is said to have said
something I try always to keep in my head:
“Life is what you make it. Always has been. Always will be.”
“Life is what you make it. Always has been. Always will be.”
I don't know about you, but that sounds good to me.
