Balkie’s Alphabetical Guide to Being Alive

Alternatively known as: 

Balkie on the Art of Living  

 

As soon as you only LOOK at something, it either breaks or becomes soiled all by itself. Thus ...

Be warned, although it mostly doesn’t HELP being warned because you seem to WANT to do it anyway. Thus, be ...

Careful of only LOOKING at objects (and people) that seem to be on the point of wanting to break or become soiled.

Dogs and Donkeys are animals. I am a Balkie. And a Balkie is a  Balkie is a Balkie. You are what you are.

Eat all you can, when you can. Cookies disappear VERY quickly. But don’t be a pig. Be you. You would look strange with a snout.

Found and lost, is the story of my life. I find the crayons and I lose them. Find and lose. Find and lose. Again and again. Now I am stuck on lost. The crayons are lost forever. But I am me. You cannot lose yourself.

Get enough sleep. DON’T think “what if-“thoughts in the dark. Think sleepy ZZZZZ- thoughts. (And beware of bees)

Help if help is needed. Help anyway. But not too much. Otherwise you will be helped through the door and people will shout at you.

I look into your eye. Unicorn. This is nonsense. But non-sense sometimes makes sense.

Just now”, alternatively known as “In a little while” NEVER happens. DON’T fall for words like those.

Knowledge sounds almost like Porridge. And both are wholesome (I’ll have some more)

Little is the opposite of BIG, but TROUBLE has no opposite. Sometimes LITTLE tends to grow into BIG. Thus, perhaps, they are one and the same thing.

Manners are quite delightful. Mean what you say and say what you mean. Thank you and please. And SO sorry about the ENORMOUS sneeze.

Now seems like a good time to do stuff.

Ouch. We all hurt.

Pickering Pork chop! Words seem to pour in streams from my mouth (see S)

Questions are really cool. Like Quests. Why does one have to stand in queues? And behave oneself? Some questions have no answers And SOME people give answers without being asked ANYTHING.

Rowing with one oar is really hard. One tends to go in circles.

Shut up every now and then. Silence is .. VERY HARD. Especially if you KNOW.  

Try to shut-up. Every now and then.Try to speak. Every then and now.

Velvet feels good. In voices too.

Waiting is impossible. Especially when the cookie-jar is getting low.

X is a kiss or a mistake. Can they be both?

Yes is spelled with a WHY. WHY? Why ... YES!

Zzzzz: to sleep, perchance to dream ... I read it somewhere.

In the end, I am, your friend

BALKIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

PS: I forgot U

Never forget ... YOU!
