A Walk in the Park: When things are not going so well, and even your days seem dark, take a walk in the park. Watch the fish, as they swim down stream. Allow yourself a little day dream, hear the sound of a dog as he barks during a walk in the park. Notice the leaves on the trees, they are starting to turn green, this time of year, that make one beautiful scene! Kids riding their bicycles, all over the place, and they do it, with such flamboyancy and grace! The sky is blue, with a touch of gray, birds flying overhead, in their own sweet little way all of which makes a wonderful day! Now I've got to start going towards home, because it's getting dark, but I have enjoyed, a walk in the park.

Put that monkey in a cage: When you see that you are about to lose control, why worry and vex your soul,
before it drives you into a rage, put that monkey in a cage! All ways try to get a grip on things, at the very beginning, because it will enhance your chances of winning. Now I know everybody can't peep through muddy water, and spy dry land, but there are a few of you who can, if you've go a friend that needs help in that area, give him or her a hand. When a monkey gets in control he will take center stage, that's why you've go to put that monkey in a cage! Fight real hard, to keep control, it's one of the best ways to reach a goal, once it is accomplished, you'll be one happy soul! Just like an actor, that's applying his craft on stage, put that monkey in a cage!

The Home Run King: His Father was a dentist and he graduated from USC, Today he is some place,he never thought he would be. He's sitting on top of the sports world throne, the whole world will know about it, before this day is gone. Mark McGwire is the new home run king. It's his praises, that I came her to sing. On September 27, 1998 he did something that was really great he his his sevetieh home run of the season, when he stepped up to the place. I don't know if he though he was driving his car or if he thought he was a movie star but hitting seventy home runs, will let everybody know who you are! Long Tall Sally, Rand and McNally, and even the dog catcher in the alley. He's in all of the newspapers, the T.V., the internet, there is no way to measure how famous this man is going to get! Congratulations, Mark McGwire, you've earned every drop, keep on celebrating, I see no reason for you to stop!
