Motto

I play it cool
I dig all jive
That's the reason
I stay alive
My motto
As I live and learn
Is dig and be dug in return

    Motto

    From guest Les Dean (contact)
    This is really a jazzy, hip way of saying what the lyrics (in the last two phrases) of the song, Nature Boy says: "The greatest thing I've ever learned–is just to love, and be loved in return.

    MY FAVORITE...well one of them! :)

    I used to recite this poem whenever someone thought they were cooler than me. LOL I was a mere teen. This was for sure one of the poems that made me want to write poetry. I couldn't believe it was not posted here so, I posted it.
