Beware My Son

Beware women, my son.
They try to get you.
With  'I love you'
Not true.

Beware alcohol my son.
It's made to ensnare.
It makes you vague.
Avoid it like the plague.

Beware false friends my son.
Choose with care.
Those, who your life, share.
You will be judged by who.
They are.

Beware of the gang my son.
With them, don't hang about.
Stand alone, and shout.
I am a man.

Beware money my son.
Greed, robbery and vice.
The fruits of this device.
Use with care.
Have some, to spare?
Give it to me, my son.
