Live through the day
In any way
You think you may
Endure your woes
Your bitter foes
The way it goes
Breathe every breath
As if your last
Forget your past
Take it easy
Rest don't stress
Keep life breezy
Reject the notion
Carpe diem
Embrace this instead
Dormi diem
Don't seize the day
Snooze it
SNOOZE THE DAY

Ahh So simple in thought yet so hard to master.
So now I know what it is I do in Latin, lol. Still, I can't help but wonder what type of humor it might produce if we asked it to. Note that I say "wonder", not actually act upon. I'm too busy "dormire"-ing. Love the whole thing: poem, AI presentation, & comment on AI's lack of a funny bone.
If only I could dormire diem these days, but blasted younglings keep me running
