"Mr. Geib said,
Go home and write a poem tonight.
Let the words just flow onto the page,
Your verse will be all the rage,
and everyone will see how well it is made."

People must like their
Worries
Holding and Holding
Never letting go
Holding and Holding
Until they overflow

If they set free their
Worries
Then they could achieve
But no!
Holding and holding
Until they overflow

Look at the bird
Who let go
And soars in flight
Flying and flying
Forever he goes
Flying and flying
Worries! He does not know

Yet we hold our
Worries
Piled high on our hands
Clouding and clouding
Our vision you see
Clouding and clouding
Our prosperity

So set free you
Worries
And you shall be wise
Because the fool
Is clouded by his worries piled high!
