Luther Jarman RE-INVENT YOURSELF! Life is short! But it’s long enough for you to fuck it up. But I believe you can un-fuck it up. You got to re-invent yourself. When you don’t have nothing left when life changes you must maintain courage in your soul to reach your goal. You can re-invent yourself and be a winner. Eat up problems like you eat dinner. Do what you have to do. Your Higher Power will see you through. It’s too late to cry— you are going to make it by and by. You got to re-invent yourself when you don’t have nothing left. Learn to love yourself. Life is short! But it’s long enough for you to fuck it up. But I believe you can un-fuck it up.

DON’T BE A GRASSHOPPER! Don’t be a grasshopper jumping around all day. Be a showstopper making your own way. All a grasshopper does is eat and sleep! An ugly green long-legged creep! Be a P. Popper! Popping out poems like Orville Redenbacher popping popcorn. A grasshopper is a glutton of grass— a lazy-ass! Don’t call me a grasshopper. Call me a showstopper— and a P. Popper.
