PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

father used to say

if you sleep with dogs, next day

you'll wake up in bed scratching those inevitable fleas

at ten years old

you listen to what you're told

but i never felt the itch

i never would



my mother had forbidden me

to waste away my life

i want you to have all the things i could never buy you

so don't stop what i'd begun

you're my one my only son

follow what i say not what i've done

follow what i say not what i've done



shower, scrub and shave

cleanly boys don't misbehave

follow what i say not what i've done
