proof is in the puddin'

[saw]

i give my kids
all kinds of good advice
that i ignore

so how is it i know
what's best for others
but it doesn't apply to me

i seem to be immune
to sensibility some days
content to do my own thing

isn't it surprising
how sure we can be about something
we shun like the bubonic plague

i wouldn't blame you for not taking any of my suggestions
seriously, you are well within your rights and responsibilities
to demand some proof
