Good fortune or Smarts which will you take?

Well, we just do not know about life until it is almost over, and then it is too late.
   Success is ?
A great big house with many rooms,
No need for a path in the back.
Rep Tevya said it would need so many brooms,
The old blind man couldn't carry the stack.
The fiddler on the roof it is said,
Is a harbinger of an ill wind.
But I believe that crooked old man,
Plays about things that must end.
Just think of that old Stalin,
Nikita, and Molotov too,
Who did not heed the fiddlers story,
Now they drink the devils' brew.
So if you hear a man playing a tune on your roof,
You better hope his first name is Charlie,
With a Daniels after that so he can play and howl at the moon,all night, and run and play with the kids.
GOOD NIGHT and GOOD LUCK
