Stankin' Thankin'

                  



                   Old habits dying hard

                   We call it

                   Stankin' Thankin'



                   I was always taught

                   That I must guard my

                   Every thought

                   Yes, my thoughts alone

                   Without deeds - may bring

                   About my own demise



                   For a thought is like a

                   Pebble thrown into a body

                   Of water causing ripples



                   For many a times we fail

                   To remember - that a thought

                   Is only pure/impure as we allow

                   It to be, and remains so - as

                   Long as we allow it to be



                   Negative thoughts bring about

                   Negative feedback and

                   Negative endings



                   Positive thoughts bring about

                   Positive feedback and

                   Positive endings



                   Our Higher Power, is oft forgiving

                   Most merciful - it is we who aren't

                   Our Higher Power, says once fallen

                   Get up - it is we who stay in a stew

                   About just how far we have fallen

                   Our Higher Power, says don't worry

                   Be happy...let me lead the way

                   Though it is our Stankin' Thankin'

                   That won't let go - therefor we

                   never relinquish ownership of this shit



                   So you see - Stankin' Thankin'

                   Brings about Stankin' results

                   In it's own Stankin' way

                   Giving oft to Stankin' endings



                   The Mind - a terrible thing to

                   Waste - yet, be well aware

                   Of what you fill it with



                   Guarding against Stankin' Thankin'

                   Is not an easy task, but practice

                   Breeds repetition - and repetition

                   Breeds perfection



                   While some chant mantras

                   Others recite rosaries

                   I chose to meditate - but all

                   In all, it is self-discipline

                   That allows either one to work

                   This discipline is revered as repentance

                   It is oft said - he who repents shall

                   Be forgiven...All praises Be...





                   Many say they hate the Devil

                   But the Devil is one of God's

                   Best servants - he is on point

                   24 / 7 making sure your

                   Thankin' stay Stankin'

Now, when I clicked on this one I did so because I was fondly thinkin of my Stankin Lincolns, I have a collection of 4 (1 Runs) When I arrived and beheld this joyous delight of knowledge and advice I was happily surprised, yet, not surprised, as this is how you always come :-)
