Nice and easy does it

The way to enjoy life’s to live for now

Live in the present, value what you’ve got

Make the best of your job, don’t crease your brow

Wishing you earned more, wishing it was hot

Relax and smile, don’t go chasing some pot

That doesn’t exist at the rainbow’s end

Peer pressure or consumer envy’s not

The key to happiness, the perfect blend

Do what you like and the adverts they send

For this and that will fade; the holy cow

Of competition is a rich man’s plot

We can all opt out of, and round the bend

The rat race disappears, and we can slow

To walking pace, see beauty in each spot

My server's been down for a few days. Thanks to those who commented on my last poem. I've been doing a poem a day in the meantime. Check out my website for the 'missing' ones if you want. Love, Antonionioni

I'm re-inventing the Beatles song at present.
Six days a week. Gotta scrape some cash back from June, when i couldn't work.
Didn't expect you to change it, it's yours to do with as you please.
Thanks for comment to my sonnet.
Love Janet.xxx

Hello stranger. My emails have been coming through a day late as well. Must be something to do with the weather eh?
Or maybe it's the earth doing another rotation, messing up the satellite systems etc...
( incidentally, it is actually getting ready to turn.)

Anyway, after that little gem, i like your words of wisdom. Absolutely spot on!

Hope you don't mind my saying though, the end of the second line, although it fits in with the rhyming scheme. Somehow it loses the rhythm.
Does that make sense. Ignore me if you like, it was just an observation i made as i read it.
Love Janet.xx
