Analysis of The Kind Of Life Worth Livin' (In my 112 year old opinion)
One with childhood and adulthood, and all in between;
One with sadness and happiness, and always ice cream;
One with smiles a mile wide, and frowns way down;
One with all kinds of noises, and nary a sound;
One with truth and lies, in which to be caught;
One with love and hate, and things to be bought;
One with all that life brings, without any left out;
One with pain and suffering, and maybe some gout;
One that fulfills all the feelings, and maybe some more;
One that brings one to know one, with all one adores.
