Words To Live By


Follow your camels to the desert

Take a right turn at the next stop sign

Eat vanilla yogurt with strawberries

Get your digestive system right...now!

Count your blessings except the last one

Have sex within your species

Avoid complications in breeding

Shop at markets that are open

Eat at Joe's if you have money

Eat donuts with holes

Make sure the middle remains when you leave

Leave a tip for the waitress

Have her baby if she is friendly

Buy a dog, a cat and a mattress

Sleep in the desert

Count the humps on your camels

Make sure they have the right amount

Watch the sun go down

Make sure there is only one

Remind yourself which planet you are from

Travel to the stars but only in your mind

Wear a sweater because it is cold out there

Laugh and cry every day of your life

Be a wise guy and if you are a girl be a wise girl

Know that you are alive before you die


*Do not die without permission (It must be in writing)

Have a degree in writing (temperature not included)

This is Donald Trumps America, especially the sex within species part.
