DON'T WORRY

Worrys an eXaggerator-
And a confidence abater-
Ally both of doubt and fear
If she once controls your ear
What mess of lies you'll hear!
Fight your problems, don't surren
der
Summon hope, the trouble-mender.
Optimism will repair
All the havoc of despair.
Don't let pessimism stall you
Don't let adverse odds appall you.
What's the use of brain and muscle
If they get no chance to tussle?
Why give in so early, son?
Your best work is still undone.
