Listen to this advice, this is good advice If you can’t be honest, be nice Don’t spend unnecessary money Don’t call girls chicks or honey Be not afraid to speak the truth And don’t ever ask “what’s the use?” Be the best person you can be Frequently succumb to sentimentality Whatever you do don’t carry a knife Resist the urge to find a wife Believe in your job or don’t be there Listen, plead, explain you care Whistleblow if you think it right But be prepared to take on a fight Know your limits and limitations Your best, your worst, your imitations Choose your football team wisely Or disappointment you’ll see Don’t go get yourself a new car Older ones are cheaper by far Eat well, drink well, enjoy today Or before you know it they’ll be away Be proud of your town and country Be as diplomatic as you can be Don’t worship a false prophet Get on the bus then get off it Make your study the biggest room Unless paid don’t pick up a broom Contest misjustice and deny Anyone’s mission to make you cry Choose a pen and book to write in Time for yourself is not a sin Hold your shoulders up and true Buy two suits, black and blue Tell yourself often you have worth Deny children, conception and birth Remember fondly lost loves Buy a decent coat, hat and gloves Try experimenting in the kitchen Get a stock pot, see what fits in Know much, learn much and read Don’t give yourself away to greed Learn an instrument, organ, guitar You never know you might go far Remember who you are always Look, don’t stare, look and gaze Enjoy to excess once in a while Always live and love and smile Make opportunities for your health This is my advice to my younger self.
