If in a scrape and in the wrong, declare it,
Never attempt to justify it; square it.
Learn to say “No” to most things—seldom “yes.”
If you should see a female in distress,
Remember the advice of your sage sire,
Call the police and gracefully retire.
As the apparel oft proclaims the man,
Why, do as many tailors as you can.
In short, if you attend to all I tell,
You’ll find that you will get on very well.
