Some are planned, some a surprise!
But if we try our best to follow
What is right, then life is hollow -
As what spurs on adrenalin
Is illegal, risky – or a sin!
But that's what gives our lives that glow
And - if we're careful - who will know?
All sorts of things give us a «buzz»
It's the taking of a chance that does
Cause our blood to flow so fast;
It's exciting when the die is cast!
Challenges crop up, untoward
The Devil giggles – he has scored
When obstacles strewn on our way
Bring doubts and worries into play.
«The best laid plans of mice and men»*
As Robbie Burns said, way back when,
Often catch us on the hop
Is life easy? It is not!
How often we're put to the test
Life's a bumpy ride at best
The sun shines sometimes, then it snows
Always we're kept on our toes...
*«To a Mouse» 1785
