Leaving your wallet at home
Is not a great idea.
Being short of money
Also means short on beer....

behold the window of opportunity
youth is when you make your dreams come true
time never to be squandered

there's an expiry date on dreams
do not miss out
find a way to make all dreams count...

God forbid that I should offer a word of advice
On how one might make a mediocre poem sublime
Or to suggest that fewer words might as well suffice
Tell me once and you’ve no need to tell me twice.

You'll find it is a good idea,
now and then,
to look at the bigger picture:
see with a broader view
the workings of your fellow men.
A word of advice, if I may,
please, don't stay too long,
be sure to always come back soon!
One learns next to nothing
about mankind
by looking at the earth
while standing on the moon.



NOTE: Another oldie....

Running from yourself
Fast furiously and completely
Running farther than you ever did before
Resolving to change yourself into a better person
Deciding to show love to your fellow man
All seven days of the week not only your Sabbath
Running back quickly to lick your wounds
When people did not give you anything but doubt
Word of advice.  You are with the wrong people....

In a tunnel under earth, we were given a curse
In this world, we am called reverse
Eager to think and question
These things bring out nothing but aggression

We are one in all and all in one

Sent to the house of the street sweeper
Keep my thoughts from them, ill think deeper
In a subway we find the device
Must show the council word of advice

We are one in all and all in one...

"License and registration please," the officer said to me.
"Is there a problem officer?" I asked politely.
"Are you serious?!" he snapped back angrily,
and so I decided to just sit in my car quietly,
parked in a playground, in its sandbox,
with frightened children surrounding me.
A word of advice to everybody,
Never drive after taking cough syrup, 
and never chase it down with mushroom tea....

Comics come in many forms 
From Archie and friends 
To Batman and Superman
Beano and the Dandy
Vampire stories
If you have a penchant for blood
Japanese ninja assassin's 
Laura Craft tales for the girl's 
Science Fiction from Galaxy's far away

But if Hustler or Playboy
Are more your thing
A word of advice
Don't bother visiting Comic Con
It may be dark 
But It's most definitely not Blue
Sorry for you...

Here is my word of advice his father said.
Do not go as yourself on this blind date.
The son thought and pondered and worried.
Then he ordered himself a mad scientist costume.

This is the closest to my own persona, he told himself.
He was feeling uncomfortable standing next to the restaurant door.
Until a full-grown sheep wearing a test tube tutu wandered up.
“Are you Charles?” she asked. Best date ever for them both....

Do not be full of yourself, Momma said,
Leave room in your self for those who love you
Whatever you do, do not be mislead
Someone will try to manipulate you
By telling you what they want you to do.
Remember, you must chart your own life course
Draw deep from within your inner sources
And do not forget those who love you most
Draw from inside strength that reinforces
But "to thine own self be true" is foremost.*

[*The quote is from Shakespeare's Hamlet,
Act 1, Scene 3.]...
