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
