My Grandfather's Advice


One day my grandfather said:
"I'll give you an advice
Keep it in your head
Because it is very nice"

At first I didn't know
What he was going to say
His words were very slow
I thought he would take a day!

"Do not neglect your right
But don't take more than it
Even if you had to fight
Take all your right, don't lose a bit"

Suddenly, my grandfather stopped
And when I asked him why was that
He told me that he had dropped
His pipe on the mat

"Do not take more than your right
Don't take any interest
Even if it was slight
(Fair) is always the best"

*****

Finally, my grandfather said:
"Now, grandson, you may go to study"
I kissed him on his forehead
I love grandpa more than anybody!
