Sometimes we make choices that don’t quite pan out. When this happens mature people take note, make adjustments and find that life presents many options that make living worthwhile. Unfortunately, there are other people who let a setback so hamper them that they never again recover. They will buck authority, refuse to accept wise counsel or hone their skills. Some even lose their zest for life. Many a time the pattern appears at an early age. Our hope is that it is not irretrievably so.
Here is a little fun ditty. I wrote it, not without some compassion for poor Lenny. But, life is often brutal and we all must find a way to get over our disappointments.With more maturity, Lenny might too.
LENNY AND ANNIE
Lenny very much liked school.
Then one day he began to drool
Over pretty Annie Pool.
She, didn’t think him very cool.
Annie, I like your pretty bow.
Come with me to a picture show.
Oh, this too you ought to know.
I would so much love to be your beau.
Lenny, use your foolish head.
For me, you are way too fat.
Unless you want to have a spat.
Leave things, just where they’re at.
Lenny was angry at Annie Pool.
Now, didn’t like math nor Golden Rule.
He then dropped out of school
And proved to all he was a fool.
