Do not sacrifice / Dreams to the whims of others / You will regret it

Today I refuse / to let the world get me down. / I remain happy!

when the sun's shining / as the colorful leaves fall / contentment's found

A breeze fills the sails / off of life's rocky lee shore / A new course is set

Penny the kitty / who I sometimes call Purr Cent / Does not get the joke.
