A Wasn't just isn't. He's just isn't present. Now, isn't that pleasant!

"You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself any direction you choose."

"You're on your own, and you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."

"You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go."

"So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember, that life's a balancing act."

"Or worse than all that, why, you might be a wasn't. A wasn't has no fun at all. No he doesn't."

If we didn't have birthdays, you wouldn't be you. If you'd never been born, well then, what would you do? If you'd never been born, well then what would you be? You might be a fish, or a toad in a tree. You might be a doorknob, or three baked potatoes. You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes.

The end.
