Look Out, Lad Poem by John Sensele

Look out! Look out, lad, for dangers
Hasten not, fasten your belt
Cruise to the bosom of your rangers
Where love, felt love, morose moods melt.

Look out! Look out, lad, for pleasures
Hasten not, straighten your mind
Cruise to the bosom of your measures
Where love never leaves you behind.

Look out! Look out, lad, for big breaks
Hasten not, listen to your heart
Cruise to the bosom of temperance treks
Where love your heart doesn't smart.

Look out! Look out, lad, for signs
Hasten not, worsen not your fate
Cruise to the bosom of inclines
Where love dotes on you more than a dainty date.
