Jack the Lad

His mother told him, watch out
many a lass you will meet
with some you will dally
share a kiss or two, 

some you will bed
but take care, for a lass
that's too easy is not to be wed
this advice he took to heart

with many a lass he dallied
most to his bed he took
'til one day he fell in love
with a lass called Jill

on bended knee he asked her
will you please wed me
oh no she said no never
my mother warned me of studs like you

she told me, bed them, don't wed them
for a stud he will always be

Hi Shadow: A great poem with a message. When my daughters were young. I always warned her about Studs.
