The Californer/10286062

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Californer -- Here is a poem about the universal secret to Happiness.

The secret and the poem is called "DON'T SAY NUTHIN'"

It's by Robert M. Barrows, President of an advertising agency called R.M. Barrows Advertising & Public Relations.

AND, HERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MEDIA COMPANIES COULD DO WITH THIS POEM TO MAKE IT VERY ENTERTAINING FOR YOUR AUDIENCE:

1) In addition to using the poem in a story about relationships, you could also set the poem up on a dedicated web page to be interactive with your audience.

They could add in a few lines or verses of their own to the poem, and it could become the longest running poem in the universe. (You could also sell a lot of advertising on those web pages.)

2) Then, you can even have some more fun with it if someone wants to turn it into a song. ("Just send me a portion of the royalties," says Barrows.)

3) You could also publish the final poem in a book, along with some other poems and articles related to relationships.

4) And then, you could start "Don't Say Nuthin'" -  Part Two

HERE IS THE POEM:

DON'T SAY NUTHIN'

Copyright 2018 Robert Barrows

Don't say nuthin' about her driving

Don't say nuthin' about her cooking

Don't say nuthin' about her lovin'

And you'll live a long, happy life

Don't say nuthin' about his drinkin'

Don't say nuthin' about his thinkin'

Don't say nuthin' about his stinkin'

And you'll live a long, happy life.

Don't say nuthin' about his attitude

Don't say nuthin' about his lack of gratitude

Don't say nuthin' about his stupidity

And you'll live a long, happy life

Don't say nuthin' about his work

Don't say nuthin' about his cleaning

Don't say nuthin' about his self-delusions

And you'll live a long, happy life

Don't say nuthin' about her clothes

Don't say nuthin' about her weight

Don't say nuthin' about her hair

And you'll live a long, happy life

(Add your verses here...)
