Rude Awakenings!

Barstool philosophy

Rude Awakenings!

Honesty bereft any genuine authenticity,
Is the surefire path to instant enlightenment!
For Mother Nature has a wicked sense of humor!
And, whenever the student is poorly prepared,
The master will surely be rudely awakened!
That's my way of saying,
The minute you think you know all the answers,
You have become your own worst student,
And, Nobody's Master!
Setting yourself up for a rude awakening!

That’s why Goldilocks Murphy,

Was always the optimist in my family,

That is, after a few drinks,

While I required more proof!

But Murphy remained steadfastly optimistic,

Right up until the pie hit her in the face!

The Irish get that way sometimes,

A few of us can’t hold their liqueur!

So we learned to work on our sense of humor!
