[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 113523, member: 3"] [b]Re: Favorite Poems (let\'s collect some)[/b] zingdingo That was good, thanks. Here's one a fella at work memorized while doing hard-time in a Catholic highschool. Beware of Good Enough author unknown My Child, beware of "good enough," It isn't made of sterling stuff. It's something anyone can do; It marks the many from the few. The flaw which may escape the eye, And temporarily get by. Shall weaken underneath the strain, And wreck the ship, the car, or plane. With "good enough," the car breaks down, And one falls short of high renown. My child, remember and be wise, In "good enough", disaster lies. With "good enough," the shirkers stop, In every factory and shop; With "good enough," the failures rest, And lose the one who gives the best. Who stops at "good enough" shall find, Success has left them far behind. For this is true of you and your stuff-- Only the best is "good enough." (There are several variations of this, all are about the same... One might say any one of them is good enough.) [/QUOTE]
