Not to care
Not to think
Not anywhere
Not to speak evil
To wear white
To dress warm
And sleep tight
And to eat well
And brush your teeth
Ignore all vices
And underneath,
To thank the Lord
Through thick and thin
Even if you lose,
He always wins.
And to wait a minute,
Before you dash,
And save some money,
And give some cash,
And living forever,
Is not that fun,
Diamonds are best,
But gold is fun.
And kids have merit,
Elders too,
Purple seems crazy,
But so is blue.
And voices are weapons,
Crafted from tears,
And voices of fears,
Haunt for years.
And solely your wards,
Come back throughout time,
And saying it once,
Is never mind,
So just tell us it’s over,
That you’re hitting your break,
That you’ll crave it all,
For goodness’es sake
