Never trust a white man, <br />Never kill a Jew, <br />Never sign a contract, <br />Never rent a pew. <br />Don't enlist in armies; <br />Nor marry many wives; <br />Never write for magazines; <br />Never scratch your hives. <br />Always put paper on the seat, <br />Don't believe in wars, <br />Keep yourself both clean and neat, <br />Never marry whores. <br />Never pay a blackmailer, <br />Never go to law, <br />Never trust a publisher, <br />Or you'll sleep on straw. <br />All your friends will leave you <br />All your friends will die <br />So lead a clean and wholesome life <br />And join them in the sky.<br /><br />Ernest Hemingway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/advice-to-a-son/
