THE GOOD OIL

Pete Boggs led a tough life,
One day he did snuff it, leaving his wife.
She was a widow, and that’s a fact!
Did you say a weirdo? How did she act?
She acted quite strangely, by any standards,
Always to the fore, in the front Vanguards.
“We’ve got to get to the bottom of things.”
“And find proper solutions to problems life brings.”
“Let’s try and eliminate all adverse action,”
“Put them to the side, preferably in traction,”
“Adverse actions, did you say?”
“Such have been constantly occurring to this day!”
“Act in harmony with the principals of good.”
“That’s got to be a protection, it’s understood!”
“Yes, time and tide will wait for no man.”
“But, take heart, we’re putting bad under ban!”
“And we’ve discovered this most special olive oil,”
“It’s so refined, it’ll make your blood boil!”
“By ingesting this on a regular basis,”
“Protection you’ll get, your own oasis!”
And so the Good Oil began to flow,
Efficacious whether stationary, or on the go!
Whether, or not, circumstances do spoil,
Do not forget to take that Good Oil.
