The Rules of Life

Never take a life,
nor dishonor your wife.
Please, don't run with a knife.
Don't point with a gun,
and never condemn your son.
Because, when all's said and done,
he's the one carrying that name along.

Love your sister,
be wary of her mister,
every ad is sinister.
Deal with only the wise,
and when you surmise,
look them in the eyes.
And do no wrong.

Well, that's pretty vague.
Don't break another's egg,
don't spread the plague.
Don't hurt another,
never steal or smother,
always look out for your brother.
Don't forget to sing your favorite song.

Feel with the mind,
watch the time
for it goes faster than mine.
First is your family
then your weekly homily.
Always teach in simile.
Yeah, love your life.

Love it more than anything,
more than your favorite thing,
more than the angels with wings.
Travel all over the place
but do it with pace
and everlasting grace.
Travel before you get a wife. Hahahah.

Life is a wonder
that we must ponder--
especially when somber.
Move along with your wife;
and when you're wrong, your life
I'd rather run with a bong than a knife.
Love life like you should love your neighbor.
