You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So... get on your way!
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
When you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.
Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.
And the turtles, of course...all the turtles are free, as turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.
The people that mind don't matter, and the people that matter don't mind.
