Pick a daisy,
pick a rose,
pick a splinter,
from your toe.
Pick some cotton,
pick some fruit,
pick that lint,
off your suit.
Pick up garbage,
pick up clothes,
pick up the kids,
don't pick your nose,
Pick an apple,
pick a peach,
pick a goal,
not out of reach.
Pick a college,
pick a school,
pick a class,
don't be a fool.
Pick a husband,
pick a wife,
pick a date,
start your life.
Pick a winner,
pick a tie,
pick a loser,
don't you cry.
Pick a tooth,
pick a fight,
pick the answer,
hope it's right.
Pick up the phone,
pick up the tab,
pick up a penny,
don't pick that scab.
,
Pick a song,
pick up feet,
pick up tempo,
don't miss a beat.
Pick a partner,
pick a dance,
pick a number,
take a chance.
Pick all day,
pick all night,
Pickin Day is over,
good night.

WONDERFUL COMMENT
Ah thank you again. Actually, this was for a contest where you had to think of a new holiday. I have no idea how I thought of it. But it is a poem that I cherrish. A young Christian on here read it and we started chatting and at the time I was a non Christian. Well he witnessed to me and called me every night Jason,(live4eternity) and on July 16 2004 I accepted Jesus Christ in my heart. He is like a son to me now. So this poem will always be special to me.Thank you for the lovely comment. God Bless you. Sandy
