Humility


Watch a seagull fly,
Eye must not cry.
Feet webbed to the earth,
I sometimes overestimate my worth - 
Remember good works on three fingers,
Evil on hands and feet,
Yet I try to seem sweet
But the aftertaste lingers
And my head remembers
Failings and fumblings, footfaults and falls.
But kind people speak to me
And I forget I am humble.
I can never see
How I can be excellent
And never realise or say
But still I pray.

On the dangers of dancing

Dance! Dance! Dance!
Like a tiger on the loose

Dance! Dance! Dance!
Like a gawky gliding goose
Dance! Dance! Dance!
Like a body on a noose.

Psychology


Sigmund Freud
Would get annoyed
If your feet were on the couch -
He was always such a grouch!

Carl G Jung
Once took a bung
They gave him lots of money
So he'd say something funny.

Abe Maslow
Was not too slow
To put the blame on others
Especially his brothers.

Carl Rogers
Loved the Dodgers
He'd often go watch them play
But not if they played away.
