The Quitter

Postby ootthewindae » Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:12 pm

When you're lost in the wild,and you're scared as a child,
And death looks you bang in the eye,
And you're sore as a boil.it's according to Hoyle
To cock your revolver and .....Die.
But the Code of a Man says:"Fight all you can,"
And self-dissolution is barred.
In hunger and woe,oh,it's easy to blow.....
It's the hell-served-for-breakfast thats hard.

"You're sick of the race!"Well,now,that's a shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
"you've had a raw deal!"I know - but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest and fight.
It's the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don't be a piker,old pard!
Just draw on your grit;it's so easy to quit;
It's the keeping -your- chin- up that's hard.

It's easy to cry that your beaten - and die;
It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope's out of site-
Why,that's the best game of all!
And though you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and beaten and scarred,
Just have one more-try - It's dead easy to die
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard
Don't be silly.all clever people have big ears...........

Ahm begging any forgivenessess if I offend anyone.

After a glass of wine, I couldn't do that poem any other way, even though I tried hard.

I don't know why Ernie, Benny Hill and his dolly birds took over that poem, they just did.

Wishing all is well in your world ootthewindae.

I read it too and it reminded me of my dad's favourite saying "When the going gets tough, the tough get going". It actually got me through some tough patches, believe it or not.
