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
