When Life Gives You...

When life gives you lemons

Don't make lemonade,

Just go ahead online

And sell `em on Ebay.

 

When life gives you trees

Don't turn `em all to paper,

Just give one a hug

And slay all the others.

 

When life gives you fire

Don't go warmin' yourself,

Just light up some torches

And burn someone's house.

 

When life gives you toilet paper

Don't wipe off your crap,

Just clog up your toilet

And... NO! THAT WAS MY DRAFT!

this is really good writing. my favorite part is "When life gives you fire/ Don't go warmin' yourself,/ Just light up some toches/ And burn someone's house." that's funny. true, fire is for warmth, but you let me look at it in a totally different perspective. this piece is good, i think you'd be one of the best writers ever if you keep spinning the wheels. you've got some imagination!

You've put both sides of what we should do and what we should not do with the things you mentioned
The funniest part of it is that what we normally do to them, you tell us not to do it, and do something worst .. for example, when we get fire, don't warm ourselves, but put fire in others' houses...
And that makes the whole of the poem a strange, but funny write
Well thought of!

Don't make lemonade,

And sell `em on Ebay.----------humorous and sweet, loved the truth within. So when life gives me lemons I need to get rid of them .....just pass them to another direction . loved your wit here.

Very cute, light humor... and I like it! You're always so creative with anything comical... even weirder is that I just wrote a poem entitled "when life gives you lemons" like a week ago.. Ooh, strange. Anyways, this piece put a smile on my face.... Continue to stun me,
