I Whistle A Merry Tune

Often I am able to hide behind a whistle and a brave walk. I learn this method from my brother, who learnt it in the Boy Scouts. The tune said “When ever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect and whistle a merry tune, so no one will suspect, I’m afraid.” And ended “You can be as brave as you make believe you are.” This was a very positive message in my life and I practiced it daily on my way home from school. The Bow Road was long and dark and every person coming, a potential killer, especially if they were running and approaching you from behind.

 

I Whistle A Merry Tune

 

In times of uncertainty, in times of fear

Whistling causes me to appear

Hopeful and courageous to others about

In times of trouble I appear to pout

So often when people think I know

They can never guess it’s just a show

Looking brave is simple to achieve

Easily whistle and soon you will believe

Anything is possible don’t takeoff or run

Make yourself brave by whistling and your work is done

Every time you convince yourself first

Responses to newness is as easy as rehearsed

Refrains when whistled merrily

You fool yourself then you fool every body

Talk bravely even when you are shaking at the knees

Use positive affirmations and not the polite please

Never let them know how terrified you really are

Every time I’m afraid I Whistle A Merry Tune and walk like a star
