Achieving Inner Peace

copyright (c) Londis Carpenter 2004

I found a book of wisdom

And read it through and through

To learn about a way of life

Taught by a great Guru.

He said the way to inner peace

Was there for everyone—

Just make a list and finish

All those things you’ve left undone.

I searched my own house thoroughly

And made myself a list.

I finished off these undone things

As I fulfilled my quest:


  • A bottle of Jack Daniel’s,
  • Three of my favorite rums,
  • Some sherry and some cooking wine,
  • A box or two of tums,
  • A box of chocolate cherries—brandied to give  a kick

I’m now a mellow fellow

But I’m also terribly sick!

A most sensible response to those wise words of that Guru... though I am sure perfectionism is more stressful than "unfinished business"?! You sound like a man after my own heart - I loved your Biog. And you may not only be mellow for another few days, but terribly green as well!! Good job it is not Lent! TY Kate
