Just Be Brilliant!

“Just be brilliant!” she said smiling
“Take everything in your stride.
Yawn away the bores
for they are a waste of time.
Follow your flights of fancy
create a colourful world of your own.
Paint pictures, write poems
sculpt with wood and stone.
Stick 2 fingers up at ‘The Jones’s’
and do things your majestic way.
Just be brilliant!” she said smiling
“You are the king of each new day!”
