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. :)

This read really well and made me smile. An excellent truism and loved the playful tone...

you recall that midnight dreary when the raven answered query, with re-pe-ti-tion aft and for, and what it said was, "never more" ...

I like simple rhyming poems, and I love the meaning in this one. I found it both relevant (except sitting like a lady, because I'm male), truthful, and in places quite humourous.
