WHY WORRY?
There are only two things to worry about:
   -Either you are well or you are sick.

If you are well, there's nothing to worry about,
But if you are sick,

There are two things to worry about:
   -Either you get well or you die.

If you get well, there's nothing to worry about,
But if you die,

There are only two things to worry about:
   -Either you go to heaven or you go to hell.

If you go to heaven, there's nothing to worry about,
But if you go to hell,
    -You'll be so busy shaking hands with friends,
you won't have time to worry.
