Common sense says Bring an umbrella When the forecast says rain Don’t hike that mountain When you’re already in pain Stop eating When you’re stomach is full If the door says “push” Do not “pull” Look both ways Before crossing the street Hot summer pavement Will burn bare feet Lack of sleep Will make you… Read More Common Sense
