Congratulation!
Today is your day.
you'r off to Great Place!You'r off abd away!
You have brain in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You are on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up or down streets. look 'em over with care.
about some you will say, "I dont choose to go there"
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-god street.
and you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of coerse, you'll head straight out of town.
it's opener there in the wide open air.
out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy nd footsy as you.
And when things star to happen, dont worry. dont strew
just go right along. you'll strt happening too.
oh! the Places yu'll go !!!
you'll be in your way up!
you'll be seeing great sights!
you'll join the fliers who soar to high heights.
you won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
you'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
wherever you fly, you'll be the of the best.
wherever you go , you will top all the rest.
Except when you dont.
because, sometimes,you wont.
I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
that bang-ups
and hang-ups can happen to you.
you can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on. You'll be left in a Lurch.
You'll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasnt bump.
And the chances are, then, that you'll be n a Slump.
And when you are in a Slump, you're not in for much fun.
un-slumping yourself is not easly done.
you will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. byt mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?
And if you go in, should you turn left or right...
or -and - three- guarters? or, maybe not guite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
simple it's, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker- upper to make up his mind.
You can get to confused
that you'll strt in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place........
