When your spirits start to sink,
Don’t over-think, drink in pink.
Begin to revive; continue to thrive:
Beauty multiplies love times five.

I wish I could remember what was drinking the pink ink… A Yink! I’m such a dork, I had to look it up!
This one,
I think,
is called a Yink.
He likes to wink,
he likes to drink.
He likes to drink, and drink, and drink.
The thing he likes to drink
is ink.
The ink he likes to drink is pink.
He likes to wink and drink pink ink.
SO…
if you have a lot of ink, then you should get
a Yink, I think.

Oh thank you! I was thinking just that, how we have to fight sometimes to believe the good but as you do each time I believe it gets deeper. Then eventually the negative bounces off.
