«Having a soul of twenty-one pounds…»
ОглавлениеHaving a soul of twenty-one pounds
Don’t measure your life with cat’s «9» thing
None can live over, or try a new round.
If you cannot smile, try saving a grin.
Having some strength to deal with yourself
Look at the mirror, watch yourself, stare!
Ladder from heaven strains after hell
Specially when you’re digging downstairs
Making a promise mind the cost,
As well as profits, charges, returns.
The first, the last, the least and the most —
Are just the words and malign concern.
Having a power measured with words
Fade the one’s straight from the shoulder.
Better fights good as «worse comes to worst»
Generals live for dying soldiers.
Having some will to build inner peace
Watch out the projects being in use.
Don’t forget to expertise bricks
Fragile constructions aren’t the excuse.
