DON'T

by

(For Colin Sedacy, my nephew)

Don't you abuse, and ruin your days,

For when they're gone, they won't come back.

None can be pulled out of the stack.

Don't you abuse, and ruin your days.

Don't fail to cleanse your mind's decay.

And do it now, not just in time!

Brush off the dirt; remove the grime.

Don't fail to cleanse your mind's decay.

Don't lose your head on words of praise.

That praise may be untrue -- not meant!

That praise may be by devils sent.

Don't lose your head on words of praise.

Don't stretch, or reach, beyond your length.

The thing you grasp mayn't be a prize --

May be too small, or oversize.

Don't stretch, or reach, beyond your length.

Don't you know life is give and take?

Share all the beef; don't leave all bone.

Yes! take some free, but share your own.

Don't you know life is give and take?

Don't you believe all that you hear.

Some may be lies -- some fairy tales.

Some may insist that shrimp are whales.

Don't you believe all that you hear.

Don't fail to see life can be fine.

Sometimes it's bad; often it's good.

Sometimes it's simply knock on wood.

Don't fail to see life can be fine.

Don't fail to clean life's cluttered ways,

For danger lurks in every crack --

The sort which can mess up your track!

Don't fail to clean life's cluttered ways.
