Counsel For the Average Man

If I have even just a little sense,

I will walk on the main road and my only fear will be of straying from it.

Keeping to the main road is easy,

But people love to be sidetracked.

Keep your garden free of weeds,

Your pantry full

And don't over indulge.

And let's pray these robber barons have learned their lesson.
