Wisdom Of The Following LIst

Wisdom Of The Following LIst

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Didactic Poem, List poem- on wisdom

"
Fear not the sleeping Llamas (they dream of grass not you)
Fall not into sin (volcanoes would be better)
Save coupons and your soul (in no particular order)
Read books from left to right (the other way leads to confusion)
Use flashlights to find your matches (All light is good)
Move pawn to king knight seven in chess (a queen is at hand on square eight)
Check your spouse for fleas and adulteries (Both are common)
Pet your pets and feed them frequently (sometimes goldfish are hard to stroke)
Forgive them if they forget to swim or your name (They have small brains)
Eat at diners with short names, short menus and shorter memories
Eat at Joe's (the signs and advertisements say so)
Don't walk on the grass or eat it
Don't wake up Llamas (They are serious about sleeping and eating greens)
Come to your own conclusions (Leave leaping and jumping to frogs)
Take the wisdom of the list with you with a grain of salt
(The pepper has gone missing)
Keep mysteries in a box (They live better in tight spaces)
Give them room to breath (They get by with little air) 
Don't panic (Panic is for clowns) (Lists are for people who care)

Very amusing humor of the dry variety. I believe, if you're not particular enough, you can get fleas from adulteries.
