Good Advice

When I was a small boy, my father said to me. Don’t stand head long in a strong wind, when 
you have to have a pee.
He’d give advice to anyone, man woman girl or boy. He even went as far as giving some to 
our dog Roy.
He would say stuff like goose grease is good for your hands. Or if you want to make glass, 
first you need some sand.
But the best advice he gave me, just to let you know, was never, oh no never, ever eat that 
yellow snow.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
