Chicken Soup for the Vegetarian

So many things to do: do your best,
Do that, do it so, not so fast, do not rest 

Smile, hide, pretend, confidence is a dress
Invest, buy a drink, flowers, bear-hug card- fuss

Read a book on the hoary ways of making out 
With a manual, why boats? Fly a plane, dig a moat

Books to win friends, books for the soul
Papers greased with greed for control

A leader negotiates, learn how to bargain,
And thou shalt be a leader too, learn the jargon,

Another sunrise, rain cloud, moonlit night to the mountain's south?
Lazy wind blown dandelions, full kisses on the mouth?

Join the dots in the reverse but keep running along,
Hard work pays off, grasshopper is plain wrong

To run is to arrive, stones can stand and stare, 
So many things to do, ease your through fare
