Things to Tell Your Son by ~batousaijin:iconbatousaijin:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Haiku & Eastern




Drugs are bad for you,
unless you really need them,
in which case, trip away.

If you want to catch a fish,
you must first swim a mile
in his fins.

Loan sharks will take
an arm and a leg, so
invest in prosthetics.

School thy feelings,
because nobody will hire
without a GED.

If a girl hits you,
that means she likes you--
unless it's with brass knuckles.

Don't make a habit
out of avoiding pain.
It will make you strong.

Bad poems might impress the chicks,
good ones will impress themselves
upon your soul.

Author's Comments

Adam Corolla once said: "I don't have a son, but if I did, I'd show him my penis, just once, when he was 5 years old. Then, for the rest of his life, he would swear that his dad had the biggest dong in North America."

Inspired by :iconklit-shy:'s "Bits that I'd Tell Sons."

i love the poem/the quote/

might as well show my son my imaginary penis.
but before that, i'd better go show it to a husband-to-be.

i love how you used "trip away"
really.

i can see how your upper lip unfold the words :)

This made me giggle.

Truth be told,
I'd rather be sold
than juggle stepping stones.
