Tequila makes miaow happy
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can keep to SS when all about you[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Are eating sweets and blaming it on you;[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can trust yourself when colleagues doubt you,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]But make allowance for their doubting too:[/FONT]

[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can perservere and not be tired by waiting,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Or, being criticised about, don't deal it out,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Or being dicourgaged don't give way to discouragement,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Think how good you'll look, and plan it out;[/FONT]

[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can dream -- and not make dreams your motivator;[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can plan -- then you'll achieve your aim,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]And and carry on regardless just the same:[/FONT]

[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Twisted by uncaring friends and fools,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Or watch your effort with one slip, broken,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]And stoop and build it back with worn-out tools;[/FONT]

[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can make one heap of all your weightloss[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]And lift it to remind you of your loss,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]look back, and wonder at your beginnings,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]And shout out to the world about your loss:[/FONT]

[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]To last just another few weeks on,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Hold on to CD when there is nothing in you[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on![/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can mingle in crowds and keep your virtue,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Or socialise and keep the common touch,[/FONT]

[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If neither doubters nor loving friends can hurt you,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]And miminins helps when all's too much:[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]If you can fill the unforgiving minute[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]With sixty seconds' worth of diet run,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier,sans-serif]And, which is more, youll be at goal - Go On!:rolleyes:[/FONT]
