"Friendly Advice to a lot if Young Men"

The title of this poem is "Friendly Advice to a lot if Young Men," it is an interesting poem. In the poem it talks about ridiculous ideas, for example: "Kill your dog" or "Break your head with a hatchet." There are also some mild lines like: "Grow a beard" or "Ride a camel." This poem is very sarcastic, because it's mostly saying these ridiculous things, then at the end the author says "But don't write poetry" as if poetry was something bad or something to stay away from. I believe many people think this is satire. The point of this poem was to make you look at it twice and think, "what on Earth did I just read!" And it did a very good job at doing that, at least for me.
