Education

Life lessons may be learned from doing and suffering the consequences.
Out to the woodshed!
Whack, whack, whack!
Learned not to smoke
After smoking a whole pack.

Worshipped all night
At the porcelain throne.
That taught me
Leave the drink alone.

Driving down the road,
Got the pedal to the metal
Looked real cool
Got killed on the way to school.

Brand new clothes,
Laying in my casket,
Watching Mama cry
At my grave tonight.
