Ill get something else.
You keep that attitude.
And they will tell you why.

Its not like theyre going, Oh, thanks so much.
The color of their hair or their height, whatever it is!!

So OK, I should keep going.
I should just keep going.

Thats what Im working on right now.
It would be an honor always.
