How to make the perfect Quarter ?

Take a pan and let it heat for a while

To this add a little olive oil

First carefully saute all your worries

Gently stir it and let them go golden brown

Add a few new experiences; Add a few new friends

Add a bright new job maybe and get rid of that frown

And as the seconds tick away

Dont despair, for each is a brand new day

The bright sunshine gives way to rain

And the clouds make way for the sun again

While your quarter's cooking, cook up a side dish

And while you are at it, why don't you think of a wish

For wishes you never know when they might come true

Hear the cooker whistling, why that's right on cue

Some words to add to the color

Some salt, pepper and rhyme for the flavor

Now take three months and bunch all these up

Finally add some memories, measured from a cup

Serve with a dash of warm laughter

If it gets too hot, please have some water

Happy Second Quarterversary!
