This is mine 
OPTIMISM by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
TALK HAPPINESS. The world is sad enough
Without your woes. No path is wholly rough:
Look for the places that are smooth and clear,
And speak of those, to rest the weary ear
Of Earth, so hurt by one continuous strain
Of human discontent and grief and pain.
TALK FAITH. The world is better off without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
If you have faith in God, or man, or self,
Say so. If not, push back upon the shelf
Of silence all your thoughts, till faith shall come:
No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.
TALK HEALTH. The dreary, never-changing tale
Of mortal maladies is worn and stale.
You cannot charm, or interest, or please
By harping on that minor chord, disease.
Say you are well, or all is well with you,
And God shall hear your words and make them true.
Old/Young Poem!

"Starkle Starkle little Twink"!
"What the Heck you are I Think"!
"I'm Not as Think as some Drunkle Peep I am"!
"The Drunker I sit here the Longer I get"!
"I've only had Tee Martunies tonight"!
Not sure if it's the entire poem....

but.....the only part I know.
All that lives is born to die,
But in stranger eons,
even death may die....

One day I was awoken by a Robin on my cill
Its song was oh so beautiful so pure so loud and shrill
It disturbed me from my slumbers as I lay in my bed
So I shut the goddam window and crushed its little head

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
