Oh children listen carefully
To what you hear today.
Don`t fill your future with regret
Don`t waste all time in play.
You think because you`re very young
That learning is for fools.
Be wise, yes know, the best of life
Is spent within our schools.
Be warned, I know, for I was one
The adults could not teach
I know now I should have learned
Now learnings out of reach.
It is never to late to learn they say
And yes, I know that`s true.
But worries weigh you down in life
There`s other things to do.
Don`t wait, start now,
While young and free
Or you`ll end up a fool,
Like me.
