Keep your tongue razor sharp, in case you ever need it,

Place an embargo on your ego, so you never need to feed it,

Don't mumble that you're humble, the knowledge is enough,

Speak, don't be meek and if they don't like it, tough.

Wake up yawning every morning but don't spend the day asleep,

Prepare for some despair and when you need to, weep,

Sharpen your wit 'cos there's some shit that life will throw your way,

Work hard, when working's what's required, but don't forget to play.
