Today's Bouquets

I’d rather be a ‘could-be’
if I cannot be an ‘are’;

Because a ‘could-be’ is a ‘maybe’
who is reaching for a star.

I’d rather be a ‘has-been’
than a ‘might-have-been’, by far;

For a ‘might-have-been’ has never been,
but a ‘has’ was once an ‘are’.”

—Milton Berle, American comedian (1908-2002)
