Be Sensible Poem by Mark Heathcote

Be sensible we hear it a lot
Be sensible, stop fooling around
Be sensible, woman-stop crying
Be sensible, darling, nobody is dying
Cut your losses
Hang up your gloves.
Be sensible it's time to surrender
Be sensible your life is in danger
Be sensible, listen don't digress
Be sensible, wear a bulletproof vest
Don't marry young
Don't marry-poor.
Be sensible, don't disagree
Be sensible, listen to me
Be sensible, I tell you, the truth
Be sensible; lend me twenty-four bucks
I'll pay you, it back in dribs and drabs
Be sensible, take your antidepressants tabs.
Be sensible we're all lab rats.
