“The less a man makes declarative statements,
The less apt he is to look foolish in retrospect.”
This was said by someone’s elderly relation
He uttered the words as though they were his own creation.
Turned his tongue with a playful phrase
In hopes it would eleviate his grandson's new phase
The words quickly sunk
Lifting the boy from his flunk.
The child left his life to resume
As he began to pen a script called “Four Rooms”

The words quickly sunk
Lifting the boy from his flunk.
