Dr. Stress (with apologies to Dr. Seuss)
I’m really good at staying chilled
When everything is going great
My countenance is so serene
With wisdom. I pontificate
On matters that I do not know
Suggest that you should
Let it go, but woe to
Those who catch me when I’ve
More than one thing on my plate
It’s safe to say I am not calm
Your words of wisdom could bring harm
For deeper darker, I can go
In fairness, you would never know
I’m not too good when stressed
So now I’ll go and have a rest
For I am like a little child
Who needs to sleep and not be riled
I do not like to be stressed out
Forgive me if I start to pout

This is a throw away bit of fun. The chicken on the other hand had it all figured out. Living her best life in Florida around twenty years ago.
