The Spice of Life # 1
ONE SECRET TO A HAPPY LIFE # 1
One secret to a happy life
Is this, more or less
Take every opportunity to
Mind your own business.
THE PAINTER AND HIS MODEL
The painter and his model
Were smitten from the very start
And every stroke of his brush
Said “I love you with all my art”
PARALYMPIANS
They should not be seen as disabled
When they compete
A Paralympian should be viewed
Simply as an Athlete
AFTER SIX LONG YEARS OF BATTLE
After six long years of battle,
Triumph came to the side of light
When the scourge of hostility ended
And Victory in Europe Day began
With joyous revelling and dancing
A new life for the country began
Then as Victory night passed,
And daylight broke through,
The peace dawned anew
IF YOU’VE LEARNED NOTHING IN LIFE
If you’ve learned nothing in life
Take this piece of advice from me
Remember this if nothing else,
Your character is your destiny
HE WANDERED THE STREETS
He wandered the streets
Clothed in tattered rags
And shod in scruffy boots
That didn’t keep out the rain
So he turned to crime
To fill his hollow belly
And then Victorian justice
Clothed him in a ball and chain

Enjoyed "THE PAINTER AND HIS MODEL" the most.

I liked the one about minding one's own business as a path to happiness and the advice about character and destiny.
