Everything in moderation
Just as Aristotle said
Too much of a good thing
Makes a good thing bad instead
Sweet is good but too sweet is annoying
Someone who’s just too sweet is cloying
A compliment every now and then can be romantic
But pay too many compliments and you’re sycophantic
If you listen more than talk there’s a lot you can learn
But if you hardly ever talk, you’re taciturn
Call me names if you want but no stones, no sticks
If I use too many words, you can call me prolix
Everything in moderation
Just as Aristotle said
Too much of a good thing
Makes a good thing bad instead

I'm Tired
I’m tired!
Once I had energy
But I lost it
I’m exhausted
If I were near my bed
I’d just fall in
I’m all in
My head
Is sagging
I’m flagging
My shoulders slump
And my eyes are bleary
I’m weary
I’d like to kiss you
But my lips won’t pucker out
I’m too tuckered out
I’m too tired
To even eat a pierogi
I’m logy
(And I love pierogies!)
I’m tired!
