Dr. Suess

Compose yourself sweet child
No time for the tears
What would mommy think
If you cried in front your peers

Would she be oh so proud
or give you a slap on the wrist
sincerely, doubtful sweet one
I guarantee she'll be pissed

And you don't want thattttt
no of course not
Actually I guarantee
you'd sooner eat your snot

and so my dear,
wipe away those unhappy tears
because the worlds about wallowing
and wasting away the years
