A New Pattern/title>
A new pattern lies before you--
as clean as driven snow.
Be careful as you tread it,
for every mark will show.
And when your life if over
and you the path have trod,
May you live forever
in perfect peace with God.
And always remember, there's
no such thing as happiness;
just the anticipation and the memory.
And when you're so far down you
have to reach up to touch rock bottom--
Well, that's when things start looking up
and as Gilda would say, "It's always something."
And if all else fails, as E.T. would say,
"Phone home"--
that number is 870-1955
as my mom would say.
