WOW! If I do say so myself, and I just did! LOL
This turned out SO DAMN WELL, I had to make it a #music #video (attached):
IF YOU CLAIM GOODNESS (BE NICE) [Ode to #SuperGirl]
[aka: To The Girl Who Would Become Super]

FOR NOW, while I am waiting on working on my next L&L Series #book, to work in "IF CLAIM GOODNESS (BE NICE)," put it in a #song / #tune to #music via @suno

[ Inspired by the movie SUPERGIRL (2026) and in response to my own "X" query - see: https://x.com/JLenardMichigan/status/2109094130991128695

I keep coming back over and over to the #SUPERGIRL #movie over-riding storyline moral:
"Don't have to be Nice, but I expect you to be GOOD!"
Been toying back and forth with potential rework of that line, which works GREAT in that #film, but in/for my https://tinyurl.com/LifeAndLivingSeries #book (which would be 6th in #series) play to: "If you claim to be GOOD, then you need to be NICE!" or something like that! :) It does NOT cost you anything but a little effort to SMILE at others (and see THE BOOK OF KENNEDY: PROJECT CARPE DIEM for the major "smile" sub-thread) and let people know "you are seen, you are noticed, you matter!"
THOUGHTS?!?!?!?!?! ]

[Verse 1]
A recent movie story said
you don’t have to be nice
but if you say you’re a good one
you ought to back it up, at least twice

Out on the street, in the checkout line
with the kid in the cart and the clerk on shift
goodness isn’t a line you quote
it’s how you carry the lift

[Chorus]
So be nice
if you’re calling yourself good
hold the door, say your piece
treat folks like you should
it doesn’t cost much
just a little respect
be nice while you’re here
that’s the best thing yet

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen it in the small stuff
the coffee left on the counter by eight
the text that says “I’m running late”
and still shows up straight

No medal for the easy move
no badge for the polished grin
just a way to leave a room better
than the way you walked in

[Chorus]
So be nice
if you’re calling yourself good
hold the door, say your piece
treat folks like you should
it doesn’t cost much
just a little respect
be nice while you’re here
that’s the best thing yet

[Bridge]
The movie gets its punchline
then the credits roll away
but real life keeps asking
what you’re willing to say

[Chorus]
So be nice
if you’re calling yourself good
hold the door, say your piece
treat folks like you should
it doesn’t cost much
just a little respect

[outro]
A recent movie story proclaimed
to the Girl who would become Super
You don't always have to be Nice
but I expect you to be good
for that movie will suffice

But for here on E
