courtesy of ExistingThing, here’s some Grantland Rice to get you going with your weekend tasks and chores.
Hold to the course, though the storms are about you;
Stick to the road where the banner still flies;
Fate and his legions are ready to rout you–
Give ’em both barrels–and aim for their eyes.Life’s not a rose bed, a dream or a bubble,
A living in clover beneath cloudless skies;
And Fate hates a fighter who’s looking for trouble,
So give ‘im both barrels–and shoot for the eyes.Fame never comes to the loafers and sitters,
Life’s full of knots in a shifting disguise;
Fate only picks on the cowards and quitters,
So give ’em both barrels–and aim for the eyes.
