i struggle with life’s work
my walk in the labyrinth
is fraught with cant be done
to start when
i vest in the morning
i dread to some extent
putting on my socks
i find a place to perch
knee pulled under my chin
heel tucked under my butt
thus carefully balanced
with minimal effort
and despite the pain
i flex and strain
and tug them on
first the right then the left
My foot covered, I’m ready
to walk the walk.

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way:
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say,
'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called
me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so
smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
