[Ads-l] You Only Live Once - YOLO

Friday Father, feeling frisky,
Flew to fabled Bora Bora.
There, though warned that it was risky,
He took off his silk fedora.
Foolish Father, oh, what folly!
Fierce the sun of Bora Bora!
Still and all, you did look jolly
All festooned with native flora.

It just isn't the same with "trilby."
