Why is it easy to put on the pounds But so **** hard to lose? It's always a breeze to pass on the peas, But ice cream is hard to refuse. Often we catch ourselves driving too fast; Are we ever driving too slow? Our brains are less like a Rafael And more like a Vincent van Gogh. Time plods along when we're waiting in line But races when we're having fun. As hard as we try to stick to a budget, There's usually cost overrun! Medical costs are so Brobdingnagian; Why can't they be Lilliputian? It's easy to make but tough to keep A New Year's resolution. Doesn't it also seem easy to sink Yet hard to stay afloat? Finding the exact words is a challenge; It's a cinch to misquote. Love--it seems--should be so simple. Why is there so much hate? Being early is usually good, But sometimes you want to be late. Life's little inconsistencies: Always a daily test… All we can do is go with the flow And try to do our best. - by Bob B

Hard, Easy; Easy, Hard
Why is it easy to put on the pounds But so **** hard to lose? It's always a breeze to pass on the peas, But ice cream is hard to refuse. Often we catch ourselves driving too fast; Are we ever driving too slow? Our brains are less like a Rafael And more like a Vincent van Gogh. Time plods along when we're waiting in line But races when we're having fun. As hard as we try to stick to a budget, There's usually cost overrun! Medical costs are so Brobdingnagian; Why can't they be Lilliputian? It's easy to make but tough to keep A New Year's resolution. Doesn't it also seem easy to sink Yet hard to stay afloat? Finding the exact words is a challenge; It's a cinch to misquote. Love--it seems--should be so simple. Why is there so much hate? Being early is usually good, But sometimes you want to be late. Life's little inconsistencies: Always a daily test… All we can do is go with the flow And try to do our best. - by Bob B
