Words Of Wisdom Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

Words Of Wisdom

Rating: 5.0


In my younger days,
Single and free,
I enjoyed the night life.

One night at a bar
I was seated next to
An older gentleman.

As an hour passed,
We shared many a word,
And many a drink.

Then, as closing time approached,
He turned to me and asked
If I would mind a little advice
From a man who had lived a long life.

I said YES,
Expecting profound words
From one who had seen it ALL.

He turned to me,
And in a quiet voice said -
Keep it in your pants.

Ha! That was not the ending I expected. Caught me off guard and had to chuckle. Wise advice from the old man.
