Born To Be Playful
Born to be cheerful, to be jolly, to be glad;
to be zany and outrageous, to be nutty, to be mad.
Born to be gainful, to be wealthy, to be flush;
to be loaded and prosperous, to be comfy, to be plush.
Born to be peaceful, to be civil, to be shine;
to be polite and courteous, to be docile, to be fine.
Born to be fruitful, to be fertile, to be filled;
to be lavish and copious, to be ample, to be frilled.
Born to be healthful, to be vital, to be nerve;
to be robust and vigorous, to be lively, to be verve.
Born to be thoughtful, to be witty, to be bright;
to be to pensive and judicious, to be clever, to be right.
Born to be truthful, to be open, to be zeal;
to be honest and scrupulous, to be candid, to be real.
Born to be playful, to be feisty, to be zest;
to be funny and humorous, to be gung-ho, to be best.
