Conclusively …

this day has to be taken with:

3 x large shots of irony,

1 x attempt at an application of rationality,

1 x handful of non-projectionist, here-and-now reality,

and 1 x omnipresent pinch of salt.

Sit down on the smallest chair you can find

(so you feel a little taller than usual),

drink the day with a side salad of acquiescence –

knock it back with the dexterity you display at the local pub

on your nights out.

And remember the beauty of your luck.
