OBSERVATIONS
by John T. Baker
It’s not a major problem
With which they cannot cope,
But all things being equal,
Fat people use more soap.

A sad but useful lesson that
Experience makes plain -
Friends may come and friends may go,
But enemies remain.

If you can smile when things go wrong
And still act just the same,
You’ve probably someone in mind
On whom to lay the blame.

Though Shakespeare bested all his peers
And in his day sure showed ‘em,
Imagine what he could have done
If he’d just had a modem.

It’s quite a disappointment and
A letdown most immense
That when at last you learn the truth,
The truth does not make sense.

If we could live our lives again
Now that we know the score,
We then could make the same mistakes
Much faster than before.
                                
The secret of success in life
Lies not in luck but toil;
He who would set the world on fire
Must burn the midnight oil.

We Southern Baptists are discreet
And proper when romancing;
We never make love standing up
Lest someone think we’re dancing.
