Unsolicited Advice
With buckets of advice and a blizzard of suggestions,
and prolific answers to all of life’s great questions,
he blusters and pontificates and tells us how to live
with advice he never follows, but which, nonetheless, he gives.
He imparts his wisdom to everyone he meets:
from how to run your business to your life between the sheets.
Advice on morals, love and sex (all in his domain)
make even brief encounters such a royal pain.
You know he’ll scratch his whiskers and open up his yap
and once again you will be caught in his vocal trap.
And so you’ve found that at first sight, you must avoid detection
by altering your footsteps to an alternate direction.
Prompt words today are whiskers, sheet, prolific, bluster, bucket and blizzard. Image by Roberto Quezada on Unsplash.

Enjoyed this! Thanks for the poem. I try to never commit the sin of giving unsolicited advice! Because no one wants it, of course!

Hard to consistently live up to that goal, however.

I just let go and let the poem write itself, Derrick. Hard to describe, but whatever thought pops into my head, I let flow, line by line. Then I edit.
