Listen to Your Mother

I see that you are blushing,

you have a diamond ring.

Before you choose your

wedding dress,

examine what attracts you

to the man you plan to marry.

Remember good looks can be bought,

ask for his childhood pictures.

Don’t believe him if he says

he’s rich beyond compare.

Check his bank account

to verify that he’s not lying.

If you find out way too late

that he’s a cheating scoundrel,

leave the tell-tale photographs

and keep his house and money.
