Forget Me Knots

Never pass a kid’s Kool Aid stand Whenever possible pet a dog Believe that if babies could talk they’d tell us all to shut up Stop talking to the driver of the car in front of you Don’t pick your nose in traffic WE CAN SEE YOU The poor man’s Jacuzzi Hot dogs, beans and a hot bath Never lend your cat money Remember the night she had fireflies in her afro Sip slowly the wine of life Ignore those who say “you can’t do that” Remember .. we have the right to be right the right to be wrong and the right to keep our mouths shut in both instances Never trust Spell Czech Believe whatever you want It won’t change the past or the future It will, however, muddy up the present John G.
