Otto, Too Nice For His Own Good? Poem by Nicki Friis

Once there was a guy named Otto,
who lived in the age of Gen Z.
He was the nicest young lad you ever did see,
for he was steeped in spirituality.

He was ever so nice and kind to all,
Never a harsh word or critical bawl.
He tried to make everyone around him smile and laugh
And never ever wanted to be anything less than half.

His friends said: 'He's too nice for his own good! '
But Otto only smiled and not a statement he would brood.
For he knew that with god, life can be a lifelong bliss
And kindness and faith brought pleasure, never less.

Though his 'nice-guy' approach left many in shock,
It was the right path, even if his friends thought it wasn't the rock.
For 'nice-guys' can also win in life's game,
And live much more happily than if they had taken the blame.

So Otto stayed on his course and found peace and joy,
In believing and being nice to every girl and boy.
His friends couldn't believe such an upbringing,
But Otto only smiled, and carried on living.
