SEMI-CONSCIOUS CONSCIENCE<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Or: You Can Lead a Rake To the Lawn,
\n But You Can’t Make It Clean Up Your Yard<\/font><\/p>\n

A sage was approached by a randy rake<\/font>
\n considering the right course to take.<\/font>
\n The sage said: “Let your conscience be your guide.<\/font>
\n That way you will have naught to hide.”<\/font>
\n The rake replied: “you think I should wear naugahyde?”<\/font><\/p>\n

Sage “Listen to that voice each night and day, <\/font>
\n even if it’s not what you want it to say.<\/font>
\n It will help you keep to the right way.<\/font>
\n The rake shrugged: “I ALWAYS beep to get the right of way!”<\/font><\/p>\n

Sage: “The time of year can be quite important,<\/font>
\n to avoid having your lifetime shortened.<\/font>
\n Don’t listen to what your April voice may say.<\/font>
\n That inner voice gets even worse in May,<\/font>
\n until you wish it would just go away!” <\/font><\/p>\n

Sage: “Your conscience striving can take you far.”<\/font>
\n Rake: “I AM conscious when driving a fast car!”<\/font>
\n Sage: “What you learn from it will heal all scars.”<\/font>
\n Rake: “I refuse to burn or peel all my cigars!”<\/font>
\n Sage: “Hear that inner voice speak in the dark<\/font>
\n when you have the urge to make love in the park.”<\/font>
\n Rake” “Oh, I do!\u00a0 And like when I’m driving a fast car, <\/font>
\n it always says: Go man, go!”<\/font><\/p>\n
