Go placidly amid the noise and - Alex, for the third time get out of bed
And remember what peace there may be in - no, Liam, you are not having a choc-mint bikkie for breakfast - there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with - sports socks, Alex, it's sports day - all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and - we are late! You don't have time to experiment with hair styles. Get some breakfast!
And listen to others - no Liam, I don't have time to glue pieces of refuse together this morning to make a spaceship.
Even to the dull and ignorant - no, you can't put your shoes on without undoing the laces. Give them here! - they too have their story
Avoid loud and aggressive persons - Eamon, don't hit him with that. I don't care what he said about your Pokemon cards. Alex - they don't suck! - they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become - Eamon, Liam is 3 and he's managed to brush his teeth, why do you always give me a hard time about this? - vain or bitter.
Enjoy your achievements - right, do you have your lunch in your school bag? No you don't Alex, it's still here on the bench - as well as your plans - we needed to leave five minutes ago!
Keep interested in your own career - I need to get to work guys. We don't have time for Weet Bix now - it's toast in the car this morning - it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time
Beyond a wholesome discipline - oh F@#K how difficult could it possibly be to put your hat in your bag every afternoon - be gentle with yourself.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
Yes, it's been one of those mornings. Triple shot with whiskey, please.
