Today I will be in a very good mood.
I will have a positive attitude.
Even if things don’t go my way,
I’ll watch my words and thoughtfully say:
“Relax, my friend. I take no offence.
I’ve no need to practice my ego defense.
Today I am in such a very good mood.
I’m sure you’ve noticed my great attitude.
It was nice to bump into you today,
but now, please excuse, and I’ll be on my way.
That condescending imbecile!
To talk to him is to get my fill
of nonsense spewed in very hot air!
All I can do is sit here and stare
as he talks and talks from his empty head
about some book he says he read.
He bores me so I want to scream.
It’s as if I’m stuck in a very bad dream.
If I see him coming another day
I’ll turn and run the other way.
It’s so nice to be in a very good mood
and to share this wonderful attitude.
Consistently now I find that I
am filled with peace as I honestly try
to show the world a better way
to live each day and how to play
the game of life without the need
to practice anger, hate or greed.
Unless, of course, I find I still
encounter that blabbering imbecile.
It’s so nice to have a good attitude.
