Example Poem

Fake It

!!

Fake it

'til you make it

is an axiom that

will amaze you with its results.

Pick any skill you want

to master and

try it.

From braiding string

to throwing clay, just do

it like you already knew how.

First effort might not please,

but soon they  will.

Fake it.

If you are glum

but glum you wish to quit,

act happy.  Happy you'll  become.

It sounds a bit simplistic, but don't doubt

my word on this!  This works with other folks about.

You'll  change the room; pretense has so much clout.

You can pollute a fun room too

if you aren’t mad and that's

what want to do

Fake it.

I used to have

to think and think to find

a proper rhyme, so simply used

made-up words, and talked like

doctor Seuss or

Mother

Goose.   Less than a

week of that, and rhyming

was so natural my life may

be at risk from deranged

wife.  Maybe don't

Fake it.
