“No pain, no gain”
It’s a common refrain
I use it again and again
as I try to explain
to my friends who abstain
that I really do have a brain.
I’m just trying to remain
ahead of the game!
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained”
Means
Otherwise, all will remain the same,
So you’re welcome to join me
And embrace the pain
So together I can say
“I’m not the only one insane!”
