My daddy said when I turned one,
“If you don’t have teeth
you can’t chew gum.”
Then he taught when I turned two,
“Don’t put both feet
in just one shoe.”
When I turned three we both agreed,
“When you’re sitting still
there’s a faster speed.”
He told me this when I turned four,
“You can come in a window
and look out a door.”
I got this advice when I turned five,
“Don’t play drums
on a beehive.”
He made it clear when I turned six,
“You can break a trombone
but it’s hard to fix.”
When I turned seven he showed me how,
“You can save your money
if you milk the cow.”
My dad declared when I turned eight,
“Even the sun can
wake up late.”
I was warned when I turned nine,
“If you’re tired
don’t sit on a porcupine.”
But my best tip came when I turned ten,
“Listen to yourself
whenever you can.”
