Poetry upgrade, example 2

If you can keep your head when all around are losing theirs;
if you can face adversity, and rise above it like a cork on a wave;
If you can get through a day of life and not be upset, or anxious, or concerned in any way;
If you can take all that the world can throw at you - including traffic wardens, rain when you’ve put your washing out, stepping in dog poo when you’re wearing sandals, buying a new shirt and forgetting to take all the pins out before you put it on, the fact that one of your remote controls (normally the one you’re looking for) will always be missing, always having something on the car that needs fixing, people driving 15 miles below the speed limit when you’re running late for work, those annoying pillocks that take up the whole aisle in a supermarket instead of going up one side and then down the other - if you can take all this, and still smile..
Then you must be on valium.
