Some Unsolicited Advice

Turn off the alarm before you unlatch,
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No two snowflakes, they say, ever match
Sneaky shysters are very hard to catch,
Don't ruin torn jeans with a brand new patch
If your taffy won't stretch, try a new batch.

I have no idea, Rico, but everyone should at least once in their life, don't you think?
