Selling the world

At least 50% of the world is terrible ,by a conservative estimate. I keep this from my children .I have to sell them this world.

Life is short.I keep this from my children.I am my good bones and they are my bones.I keep it from my children.

The body is at least 50% more terrible than what it seems to be. And will be dust anytime by a conservative estimate .I keep all my estimates from my children.

That is how I successfully sell the world to them.

(After the poem Good Bones by Maggie Smith)
