Poem Of The DayPoet: David V. Bush Lose temper, and all must perish; Smile, and you'll put er through! An angry frown puts your true self down - So smile, and dare, and do! When your rage seems too hot to smother. And the world bears a crimson hue, Don't play the fool - take a moment to cool - Just smile, and you'll push 'er through! When you feel like tearing and rending. Just pause for a saner view. There is naught to gain from your wrathful pain- So smile, and you'll push 'er through! Lose your temper, and you are vanquished: Smile, and you'll put 'er through; For anger's the first of your foes - and worst - So smile, and dare, and do!
