Never Is Sound Advice
There are some things that I was taught
when I was just a lad
Some by father’s knowing words
and some by being bad
Never, ever hit a girl
no matter what she’s done
The sting of belt or Dad’s firm hand
was never any fun
Never play with matches
You could burn the whole house down
Never sass your elders
the response will be a frown
Never place your hand
upon a red hot stove
Never spit into the wind
or wetness you will know
Never stick your tongue
near any freezing metal pole
For the laughter of your friends
will be a hefty toll
Never poke at bee’s nests
their sting will cause you pain
Never pick on bigger kids
If you don’t want to end up lame
These are just a few of the things
that each of us should know
Oh Yeah, I almost forgot!
Never ever eat the pretty yellow snow!!!
