Never kiss a scorpion or kick a kangaroo.
Don’t put olives in your ears or relish in your shoe.
Be nice to an asparagus that’s starring in a play.
Don’t forget to wax your pig at noon on Saturday.
You cannot trade your brother for a pretzel or a kite.
Remember that you shouldn’t challenge snails to a fight.
When walking to Poughkeepsie, try your darndest not to sneeze.
At night, put on pajamas, say good night to all your cheese,
Ask your walrus for some water (not forgetting to say please),
Turn out the light and shut your eyes and try to catch some “Z”s.
