There was a phrase written on her desk,
“Laugh uncontrollably,
Sing like no one’s listening,
Live life to the fullest,
Break the rules.”
I didn’t laugh at all.
She turned off the radio.
She didn’t once crack a smile,
And when I broke the rules she said,
“You failed. Come back next week.”
“Laugh uncontrollably,
Sing like no one’s listening,
Live life to the fullest,
Break the rules.”
I didn’t laugh at all.
She turned off the radio.
She didn’t once crack a smile,
And when I broke the rules she said,
“You failed. Come back next week.”
