There's Truth Behind Those Saying

don’t peddle  and meddle when  you should put the pedal to the metal
don’t sneeze and wheeze until you say may I please
halt before you salt,  else your arteries  will take the fault
don’t catch cold when  you’re old or your lungs will fold
take a daily walk around the block behind geese in a flock
don’t sweat the small stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff
cook bake beans  today, tomorrow you’ll pay
you had your chance, I’m taking a stance, no romance!

I laughed out loud when I read "don’t sweat the small stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff". Have an awesome day, Douglas!

This part was pretty hilarious "take a daily walk around the block behind geese in a flock" until I got to the most hilarious part of all!
