Man-Up And Face It Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Male
Strive, stumble, and fail
Wail
In self-jail
Be up and learn, don't be pale!

Run
Not just for fun
For life at times is an unintended pun
But do you love that bun?
On it, didn't the doc put a ban?

Criticise
Incentivise
In one breath, I can't advise
For even with the fall in fail, you can still rise
So, just dust it off and be wise!

Cry
Decry
But never get your life to fry
Rather stick it all out to dry
In pain or in rain, just try!

Fumble
Stumble
Just ignore the rumble
Time will always get to a wobble
Just be careful not to pile up all the rubble
