LISTEN MY DAUGHTER

Use your head my daughter,

Both in summer and winter,

You are the goat to slaughter,

That evil people are after.

Don’t only think you’ll be married,

If you do you’ll be buried,

Of the society get worried,

And look the burden you’ve carried.

Men today prefer the educated,

Without that you’ll be cheated,

With their words don’t be affected,

And you’ll end up being respected.

They will come and speak,

But for what they seek,

Deny don’t be weak,

For protection cut his beak.

Speaking of your beauty,

They’ll say you are pretty,

Just because they are thirsty,

They’ll struggle to make you empty.

Sweet words they’ll say,

Just to find a way,

Of making you decay,

Know this from today.

Every man you see,

Will give you his fee,

To make your body free,

Please don’t agree.

They’ll buy you everything,

Since you have nothing,

Because they want something,

They’ll leave you a sharp sting.

Try to be careful,

You are very useful,

God has made you graceful,

Study to be successful

Carefully take what I say,

And you won’t end in dismay,

For your education anything I’ll pay,

You’ll succeed if you won’t delay.
