I told you once
I’ll tell you twice
I’ll never give you
Good advice
I’ll just project
Myself herein
In your despair
My dreams begin
And if from gods
Are favours blessed
I’ll give you scraps
And take the rest
And if in this
Your life sustains
I’ll bleed it out
Take all remains
I told you once
I’ll tell you twice
I’ll never give you
Good advice
And if you take
My warning now
Through that I’ve caught you
Anyhow

Nicely done Helen. We either heed advice or we ignore it I find, whether or not it is good or bad…..well done.

I love that beautiful yellow snake!
At least this narrator’s honest in zir proclamation that ze will never give good advice. Some people delude themselves into thinking that theirs is the only advice another should follow.
