Until your good is better, and your better is your best. A camel's hump is an ugly lump, Often found in the zoo, But uglier yet, Is teh hump we get, From having too little to do. Good, Better, Best
Don’t ever let it rest…
Until your good is better,
and your better is your best.

A camel’s hump is an ugly lump,
Often found in the zoo,
But uglier yet,
Is teh hump we get,
From having too little to do.
