Never

NEVER

 

Never waste time talking

To someone who's not listening;

Never think that looking

Means a person is seeing;

Never go to sleep angry,

'Cause you'll wake up a grouch;

Never forget to sit like a lady,

When you plop down on the couch;

Never waste time crying, tomorrow,

About something that happened today;

Never try to borrow

From words that others say;

Never attempt to move forward

Without watching your back;

Never look backward

To find the things you lack;

Never believe you know a man

Or you will, always, be in shock;

Never be happy with an adoring fan,

Who doesn't bother to knock;

Never think trouble lies ahead,

'Cause, then, it's easier to find;

"Never say never," it is said;

O'kay, then, never mind.

I think this is very nice. I liked it. I can relate to this poem in a way. I think a lot of people can though. I mean if Selena were still alive she would follow this advice about the fan. John Lennon too. I think they were both great artists. The man part is true for woman. Thanks for sharing. :)

That ending part kinda made me laugh " O'kay, then, never mind." This was a very good poem I obviously enjoyed it very much.

I love this poem, and especially the line about knowing a man- I thought I knew my man, but turns out I don't know him at all. Also the first lines-
"Never waste time talking

To someone who's not listening;"

I just told someone that it would be the last time I would bother writing, he never really answered me in the first place!

I found this is good and believable in everything you wrote.

A lot of wisdom in your words. I agree not to waste time with people with their own plan. Sad part of life. Most of us will learn by trial and error.
"Never believe you know a man
Or you will, always, be in shock;"
I believe same goes for a woman. Never know what a woman may do and say. Thank you for a excellent poem.

Cool poem, cool to read, wise and humorous too, nicely created, cool pen upon this.

[Susie Q]

It seems I missed this one. I like it a lot and can identify with this. I especially like "to sit like a lady when you plop down on the couch". I wonder where that came from, LOL.

[alesuriko]

Very humorous but also every educational. I really laughed at the "sit like a lady part" for that shall never happen with me haha. But this was a very entertaining read with such a good flow and a wonderful rhyme scheme. Well done!
