We Can Take More Punishment, Than Anything in the Business - Nicholas Viglietti

If there’s one thing

I’ve learned

In Life:

 

Always

Take more water

Than you think

You’ll need –

Everything else

Can be figured out,

And it’s free to breathe.

 

Haply,

Always a wild,

Rambunctious,

Dilapidated Desperado;

Focused on the sun

And it’s side,

Propitiously unaware.

 

Every cloud’s

Got a silver lining

In my stare.

There’s a lot of

Ric Flair

To the glitz

Of my glare.
