Extra Mile
Go the "extra mile"
Bite off more than you chew
Make a goofy smile
Create a witches' brew
Picnic at the beach
Explore the great unknown
Grasp beyond your reach
Tickle your funny bone
Fall madly in love
Rely on self-supports
Give worries a shove
Sail to exotic ports
Read a comic book
Be crazy on the phone
Take a second look
Don't be another clone
Float upon a cloud
Embrace a teddy bear
Sing a song out load
Build castles in the air
