congratulations. Today is your day, You're off to great places, you're off and away. You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself any direction you choose, You're on your own and you know what, you know and you are the guy who will decide where to go. You look up and down streets, look them over with care. But some you will say, I don't choose to go there with your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet. You're too smart to go down any not so good street and you may not find any you'll want to go down in that case of course you'll head straight out of town. It's opener there in the wide open air out there. Things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsie as you and then things start to happen. Don't worry, don't stew, just go right along, you'll start happening to, oh the places you'll go, you'll be on your way up, you'll be seeing great sights, You'll join the high flyers who will soar to high heights, you won't lag behind because you'll have the speed, you'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead wherever you fly. You'll be the best of the best wherever you go, you will top all the rest except when you don't because sometimes you won't. I'm sorry to say so. But sadly it's true that bang ups and hang ups can happen to you, you can get all hung up in a prickly perch and your gang will fly on, you'll be left in a lurch. You'll come down from the lurch with an unpleasant bump and the chances are then you'll be in a slump and when you're in a slump, you're not in for much fun. Unspool lumping yourself is not easily done. You will come to a place where the streets are not marked, some windows are lighted, but mostly they're dark. A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin. Do you dare stay out? Do you dare go in? How much can you lose? How much can you win? And if you go in, should you turn left or right Or right and 3/4 or maybe not quite or go around back and sneak in from behind. Simple. It's not, I'm afraid you will find for a mind maker upper to make up his mind. You can get so confused that you'll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break necking pace and grind on for miles across. Weird ish. Wild space headed, I fear towards a most useless place. The waiting place for people just waiting, waiting for a train to go or a bus to come or a plane to go, or the mail to come, or the rain to go, or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or the waiting around for a yes or a no or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting waiting for a fish to bite or waiting for the wind to fly a kite or waiting around for friday night or waiting perhaps for their uncle jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting. No, that's not for you. Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying. You'll find the bright places where boom bands are playing with banner flip flapping once more. You'll ride high, ready for anything under the sky. Ready because you're that kind of guy. Oh the places you'll go, there is fun to be done. There are points to be scored. There are games to be won and the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winningest winner of all fame. You'll be as famous as famous can be with the whole wide world watching you in on tv except when they don't because sometimes they won't I'm afraid that sometimes you'll play lonely games too games you can't win because you'll play against you all alone. Whether you like it or not alone will be something. You'll be quite a lot and when you're alone there's a very good chance you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some down the road between hither and yon that can scare you so much, you won't want to go on but on. You will go though the weather be foul on. You will go though your enemies prowl on. You will go though the hacking cracks, howl onward up many a frightening creek though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak on and on. You will hike and I know you'll hike far and face up to problems, whatever they are. You'll get mixed up of course as you already know, you'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step step with care and great tact and remember that life's a 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 3 quarter percent guaranteed kid. You'll move mountains. So be your name. Box, bummer, bixby or bray or Mordecai, Ali Van Allen O'Shea. You're off to great places. Today is your day, your mountain is waiting. So get on your way
