Once more into the breach…
I’ve had a copy of that for at least 40 years. Thanks for the link.
It was a top 40 hit back in the 70’s too.
I’m assuming you are recovered enough to take a little humor. National Lampoon wrote a parody of Desiderata - called Deteriorata. Here’s the link. http://dmdb.org/lyrics/deteriorata.html
My favorite line from it is:
“Take heart in the be-deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.”
I don’t know why.
