कृष्णलादौ प्रमाजन्म तदन्यार्थामृदुत्वतः ।
तत्त्वमस्यादिवाक्येषु न त्वेवमविरोधतः ॥
Acquiring wisdom is great but it is not the goal, applying it is.
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.
Oh, to succeed in life, my dear, it's plain to see,
You need three things, and they're not so hard to be:
A wishbone, a backbone, and a funnybone, you see,
With these three things, your dreams will come to be!
A wishbone, oh so slender, yet so strong,
It holds your dreams and desires, all day long.
It's the foundation of your heart's desire,
The starting point of your journey to aspire.
A backbone, sturdy and straight, yet flexible too,
It holds your spine, and keeps you true.
It's the strength of character, the will to try,
The determination to reach for the sky.
And a funnybone, oh so quirky and bright,
It brings laughter and joy, day and night.
It's the spark of creativity, the zest for life,
The ability to find humor in strife.
So, my dear, if you want to succeed,
Remember these three things, and they will lead:
A wishbone, a backbone, and a funnybone,
And your dreams will come true, before too long!
