"Sing no more ditties, sing no mo
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny."
-W. Shakespeare
Occasionally take of your lid, stop slouching for a second and thank the Nice Old Lady, kiddo. You'll feel better for your share of the hash we have made of the planet. When someone or something gives you pretty much everything it has, you might have a thank you handy.
