Time to Take a BreakDr. Seuss, Oh the Places You’ll Go • On and on you will hikeand I know you'll hike farand face up to your problemswhatever they are.You'll get mixed up, of course,as you already know.You'll get mixed upwith many strange birds as you go.So be sure when you step.Step with care and great tactand remember that Life'sa Great Balancing Act.Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.And never mix up your right foot with your left.And will you succeed?Yes! You will, indeed!(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
