LITTLE BITS OF UNUSEFUL ADVICE
Something ever, have you seen,
Which was not, perhaps, for you to see?
Someplace, ever, have you been,
Where never you were meant to be?
Be careful friend, for what you do,
Could be something you never wanted to.
Opening a door, please look about,
If someone around is there to shout.
But once you do so, yourself brace,
For finding your self face to face,
With a scene or maybe something,
For you which could be, embarrassing.
Therefore before you open the door,
Be sure to look through the keyhole once more.
Taking up a diary, don’t read the name,
Even that alone may induce shame,
But shaking that, if you look inside,
And promptly receive a whack aside,
Be sure to know that ‘tis a girl,
Whose secret pages you dared unfurl.
(So simple yet so delicate,
Is this intricate thing called etiquette.)
If sometime you walk inside,
A building, for some purpose, please do hide.
For going on inside that very place,
Maybe something which some may wish to go on without a trace.
And if they know that you know it too,
Heaven knows what they may do to you!!
So better, then, to look about,
Before entering, than to give a shout.
On seeing what maybe a dangerous scene,
And get a prize you never wished to win.
A scrap or chit, you may chance to find,
And read to relax, just to unwind.
But instead gain knowledge of something hidden,
Information that is, for you, forbidden.
Throw it away reader, and do one task,
Never breathe a word of it, even if one may ask.
For from knowledge itself you need not fear,
Until it reaches some evil ear.
So keep quiet, do not brag,
And you won’t find yourself in a drag.
Many such things do still remain,
From doing which you should refrain.
Or even if you do them, close your facial hole,
For just about there maybe a mole.
Therefore I say, whatever you do,
Good or bad or false or true,
Always around do look askance,
Just one time, just plain once.
For one moment may save your soul,
From falling into some dark hole.
