David Darbyshire - Old Wive's Tales

They say eating a carrot
improves your sight
a trip to the opticians
would be more bright

If you have sex
standing up
only a virgin would believe
that you won't conceive

and about masturbating
to much causes blindness
this is true
more or less

shaving hair makes it grow quicker
drinking coffee makes you smaller
A pimple on your tongue means that you tell lie's
Eating apples with cherries increases penis size

These all might be true
they also might be false
but what you might want to give a whirl
Eating the crust of bread makes your hair curl.
