Book 17 Page 1

 

It’s all material

 

 

 

Some people are like rubber,

put them under pressure and they ‘bounce right back.’

 

 

 

 

Some people are the glass type,

put them under pressure and they ‘crack.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some people are the steel type,

put them under pressure and they ‘hold strong.’

 

 

 

 

 

Some people are the foam type,

put them under pressure and they just collapse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some people are the cement type,

put them under pressure and they ‘harden.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some people are the plastic type,

put them under pressure and they ‘bend and adjust.’

 

 

 

Which kind of person are you?
