Apologies to Mr R Kipling

 

If you can keep your head when all about you

If I can keep my head when all about me 

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

Are trolling others and blaming it on me

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

If I can trust myself when all dipshits doubt me

    But make allowance for their doubting too;

But make trouble when others doubt me too

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

If I can de-troll and not be tired of de-trolling

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Same as above

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

Ditto

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

And yet don’t look too peeved, nor talk too bad:

 

To be continued :o)
