STUCK IN A RUT

Stop rubbing your face
Stop picking your nose
Pay more attention
To your shoes, and your clothes.

Stop wandering round
Try to fit in
You’ve got to look better
Gotta bathe now and then.

Shower and shave
Put on a clean shirt
Wipe off the mud
The grease and the dirt. 

Try some cologne
Run a brush thru your hair
Remember to floss
Don’t forget underwear.

You’ve fallen, you’ve slipped
Right into a rut
Wipe yourself off
Then pull yourself up. 

Come out of the shower

Don’t be so afraid
Stop whining , complaining
Bout messes you’ve made.

Let’s try to begin
With a clean piece of slate
You can change your direction 
No, it’s never too late.
