Be Sensible Poem by Mark. A Heathcote

Be sensible. We hear it a lot.
Be sensible; stop fooling around.
Be sensible, woman - stop crying.
Be sensible, darling; nobody is dying.
Cut your losses.
Hang up your gloves.
Be sensible. It's time for you to surrender.
Be sensible; your life is in danger.
Be sensible; listen to your doctor.
Be sensible and don't digress.
Be sensible; wear a bulletproof vest.
Don't marry young.
Don't marry poor.
Don't have kids. Don't marry at all.
Be sensible; be sure not to disagree.
Be sensible, listen to me. Have I ever lied?
Be sensible, I tell you the truth.
Be sensible; lend me twenty-four bucks.
I'll pay you back in...dribs and drabs.
Be sensible; take your antidepressant tabs.
Be sensible; we're all lab rats.
Except you're not, you know what truly gives
And rebellion is on the cards, perhaps.
