Slog Out Of Your Bog



If you can't glow out of your show ask your lucky star.
If you can't grow out of your woe
ask your inner Czar.
If you can't lift out of your drift ask your hobby horse.
If you can't gift out of your thrift
ask your higher Source.
If you can't thrive out of your hive ask your busy bee.
If you can't drive out of your dive
ask your inner See.
If you can't rise out of your guise ask your sunny side.
If you can't wise out of your size
ask your higher Guide.
If you can't earn out of your turn ask your crystal ball.
If you can't learn out of your burn
ask your inner Call.
If you can't slog out of your bog ask your fairy elf.
If you can't shog out of your fog
ask your higher Self.
