My Family - Advice My Mother Gave To Me Poem by Paul Warren

Always wear clean underwear in case you have an accident
Always eat your vegetables they'll put hairs on your chest
Don't eat anything for an hour before you go swimming
Always eat your crusts they'll make your hair curly
If the wind changes your face will stay that way
Nothing good ever happens after midnight
Be home before the streetlights come on
Don't pick your nose you'll make it bleed
Don't pat stray dogs as they have fleas
Growing children need plenty of sleep
Just wait until your father gets home
If you pick at it it won't get better
Don't run with scissors
A band-aid will fix it.
