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!!!
