Don't cut off your nose to spite your face,
You'll find my friend it's hard to replace.
Don't stomp your toe, to punish yourself,
Don't ever put your brain on a shelf.
Don't ever stop before you are finished,
Don' t quit breathing 'till life is diminished.
Follow the example of Gods' smaller creature,
A hard shell it has and a wonderful teacher.
Not beautiful, not pretty, certainly not fair,
But until he sticks his neck out- the turtle gets no where!
