Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
YOu have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yoursef
and direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know wht you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.
Except when you don't
Because, sometimes, you won't.
I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
and Hang-ups can happen to you.
But on you will go
though the weather be foul
On you will go
through your enemies prowl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your gumboots may leak.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and def.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed)
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So... Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So... get on your way!
