When the Angry Birds fail a time or two
the message pops up, urging use of power-ups.
Something to add zip, accuracy, locate the problem,
come nearer getting the maximum possible result.
Life has power-ups. Planning your way through
decisions we tend to blow; working with someone else,
someone who knows the road and has some distance
from the issue; getting with others with like minds

and reading what others wrote; mapping out the path,
avoiding gossip and living the journey rather than bragging;
and doing what you can to grease the wheels
will power-up the odyssey.
