Stop trusting the wishes that you make on shooting stars Like the dinosaurs, they will only end in regret Do not give your key to the first kind stranger who enters in You’ll learn the frustration of changing all the locks Spare not a shoulder when he comes to you weeping Watch for vampire’s fangs that seek out your blood Do not rest easy when the storm is calm Outside the hurricane’s eye, destruction abounds Doubt every sorry word he gives to pacify you Unless you want to hear them again and again Like the cyclist who drops his pedals on a steep hill You are liable to crash if you lose your breaks He is a wizard who claims change in his spells But uses dark magic to beguile your feeble mind Believe not the penitence he paints across his face You will learn quickly, leopards never change their spots
