When Friends or Strangers with hands to clasp,
The Weathering of Life we usually ask.
\'Hello Good Sir and how are you\'?
For this it seems the Prevailing View.
\'I hope your well\', we generally say,
It\'s the topic acute throughout the day.
Oh never say \'I\'m doing fine\',
There\'s such a lie within the line.
\'It could be worse\', I\'ve often heard,
The meaning of which is quite absurd.
The Answer you give and this mark well,
A most Candid line is what you tell.
\'I\'m Treading Water from Dusk till Dawn\',
\'By those ups and downs by which are Borne\'.
\'For some days good\' and Some days bad\',
An emotional Piñata of Happy and Sad\'.
An Appropriate analogy I think you\'ll find,
As life\'s not smooth, it\'s the Rocky kind.
From day to day all Obstacles laid-
And we\'re Treading Water from Cradle to Grave.
