Some Very Bad Advice
Of old there was a saying said
to sooth dark failure’s pain,
If at first you don’t succeed
you should try and try again.
Full many a failure now lies behind,
beneath oblivion’s cloak,
whoever said that stupid saw,
I hope upon it choked.
If at first you stumble and fall,
lie still and fake a cramp.
If all your plans should come to naught,
you can be a perfect tramp.
When failure breaks your heart and mind
shut up and quit that cryin’
What failures could be greater than
old William Jennings Bryan?
When preaching makes you feel unworthy
you can always punch the preacher,
And if your schoolwork is very poor
you can always be a teacher,
When you feel that no one cares
try skipping a month of rent!
If someone makes you feel you’re poor,
cram up his nose a cent.
So if at first you don’t succeed
arsenic won’t solve a thing,
Cause even failures can do well;
Bob Dylan can’t even sing.
