Jeff Morehead Poet Rhyme

Bulge In Your Wallet

Bulge In Your Wallet

From the bulge in your wallet
I can see the outline of a ring
Are you sure you are ready?
To be carrying that kind of thing

Don’t allow pressure to make you do
Something you’re not ready for
The consequence of your actions
Is nothing to ignore

Have you thought it through?
Is a moment’s pleasure worth the cost?
I come here as a friend
I’m not trying to be your boss

But the thought of you doing something
That could affect your entire life
Has given me reason for concern
Reason to feel such strife

There is no doubt you feel you’re old enough
Physically you’re probably right
But mentally are you ready?
For what happens in the night

If you’re sure you are ready
And I can’t change your mind
Make sure that condom in your wallet
Is used every time

Mourning Mist May 13, 2011 at 5:54 PM i will try to find links of those 3 percent that thought they would not be dying of aids..but they are

Mourning Mist May 13, 2011 at 5:53 PM I think you should have added that 3 percent or 3/100 times a condom is used pregnancy or aids happens regardless..so 3 percent of the time it fails..everyone always believes they will not be 3 percent..and i have links of it taking 10 years for HIV to be known,,
