Gratitude

 

---

Be grateful for the cloudy sky that weeps a freezing rain,
for otherwise you'd never know the site of your storm drain.
Enjoy the runny nose a cold will bring in dead of night,
cuz if you did not have a nose you'd look an awful sight.
Rejoice in poverty and want; they teach us many things --
like how to pick a pocket and make do with chicken wings.
Never grumble when your stocks and bonds collapse in ruin --
remember that the plum grows sweet when it becomes a prune.
Be grateful that life treats you bad and sorrows multiply,
and while you're at it tell me how a bowling ball can fly.
