TEA TOWELS: After a lovely day at Lady Harrington's garden walk, there was a bundle of towels to be washed. Spotted one belonging to Diana Williams with this poem; In Times of Stress. Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change things I cannot accept. And the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill today, Because they got on my nerves. Also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today, As they may be connected to the feet I have to kiss tomorrow. Help me always to give 100%..... 12% on Monday. 23% on Tuesday. 40% on Wednesday. 20% on Thursday and 5% on Friday. And help me to remember .... When I'm having a bad day, And it seems that people are trying to wind me up.... That it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 28 to smile. But, using more muscles, burns more calories. !!! You don't find these printed verses on tea towels anymore, I suppose it's not politically correct now?.
