Don't

Don't do this, don't do that.

Don't scrape your plate.
Don't tease the cat.
Don't pick your nose.
Don't suck your thumb.
Don't scratch your head.
Don't swallow gum.
Don't stick your tongue out.
Don't make that face at me.
Don't weary our socks in bed.
Dont slurp your tea.
Dont touch your fathers
records.
Dont touch your brothers
glue.
So many things I mustnt
Whatever can I do ?
John Kitching
