Rules You Learn at Birth
1. Always respect your mother.
2. Always listen your father.
3. Don’t hit the boy who lives down the street, even if he taunts you by calling your mother fat and your father gay.
4. Always listen to your elders and respect them. One day they’ll be vegetables and you will be reaping the rewards.
5. Stay away from drugs, they will only ruin your life.
6. Alcohol must only be consumed in moderation. You don’t want to be drunk when your first child is conceived.
7. Get a job, even if it is serving burgers at a fast food joint, that’s better than cleaning toilets.
8. Save up your money, you never know when you might have to go on the run for a crime you did/did not commit.
9. Buy a house, settle down, and have kids, then teach them these rule s when their born or something along these lines.
10. Live life. Don’t die a crackhead or bum. Be a man and grow some. Take the world by storm or end up dying in the hole you’ve dug.

| Simple and to the point -- My favorite is #10. |

I enjoy it, some funny, some serious, but overall a nice, witty little quip.
well done. |

I like this. It's simple and concise yet it speaks volumes at the same time. I really like number 8; I've never thought about that one to be honest. As far as improvements, the only one I can think of right now would be to put number 9 where number 10 is. The way it is right now is good, but in my mind as I read the way it is now it's as if teaching the kids only applies to the first 8 rules and not so much the last one also, if that makes any sense.
Good stuff though. I'm going to check out some other things you've written and feel free to do the same with me. :-D |
