i found this poem recently and thought it would be nice to share it. It certainly made me smile!

Daddy Says
by Tom Bird

Sugar rots your teeth,
TV rots your brain,
Smoking rots your lungs,
Drugs drive you insane.

Sex rots your morals,
Steals away your decency,
Alcohol is poison,
Freedom is heresy.

All fun is being lazy
And all laughter is pointless,
All dreams are empty,
Innocence is dangerous.

Work build you up,
Pain is being alive,
Money is power,
Hate helps us survive.

Remember responsibility,
Always do your best,
Remember the rules,
Obey those you detest.

Always try and lift
That which weighs themost,
Your duty is to your guest,
Your duty is to your host.

All that you hate
Is all you must do,
And all that you love
Is always bad for you.

Hah! That's funny, Lilith, and it also reminds me that I was well into adulthood before I finally abandoned such attitudes that I was raised with. Life got much easier and much more fun. :)

glad you all liked it, it's very true, all that you love is always bad for you, especially when you're on a diet like i am! no chocolate!!!

hee hee hee!
Sounds like Tom Bird has the same kind of relationship with Daddy as Sylvia Plath!

Thanks for the laugh.

Yes, we all need a little levity and a reality check at times.
