“I stay cool,
and dig all jive,
That’s the way
I stay alive.
My motto,
as I live and learn,
is Dig and be dug
In return.”

Poem:
.
what do you really understand
do you truly dig what you dug
does everything come out just as you planned
are you always as snug as a bug in a rug
as polite people say, feces occurs
living life applies to everyone
blessed are those who live many years
a requiem for those whose days are done
sad are those who live in the future or past
lucky are those who know one day at a time
smart are those who ignore the newscast
the wise are always looking forward to their prime
today, be the person your Higher Power wants you to be
happy, joyous and free is the absolute guarantee
