save the earth

and wear a mask

know your worth

don’t tell, don’t ask

be kind, rewind

and never drink and drive

you must change your mind

to keep your dreams alive

you shouldn’t do drugs

please adopt and don’t buy

those cats and dogs

are begging for life

please wear your seatbelt

try to drive fifty five

play the cards that you’re dealt

stand and challenge your rival

nothing good after midnight

watch your mouth, heart and weight

a bark is worse than the bite

don’t leave your chances to fate

rallies don’t work

you have to chase your success

wipe off that smirk

and remember, mother knows best

    💖The Isocolon in ‘don’t tell, don’t ask’ speaks to me like a siren. It is where the "notice" cracks sharper than glass. 💖 💖I’m reading this slowly, the Alliteration in ‘drink and drive’ hit like heck. Those hard ‘D’ sounds coming before the whisper of ‘be kind, rewind’ are haunting. You nailed the cold, official voice while letting the fear scratch the back of the neck. 💖 I feel led astray. I don't know whether to adopt or to buy; all I know is that they are begging for life. It means I would probably ignore them... I can almost hear their stertorous breathing.
