Mama Said

My mother always told me:
Brush your teeth,
Make your bed,
Wear clean socks,
Brush your head,
Eat a breakfast nice and warm
Stand up straight, don't cross your arms.
And I did what mama said.

My mother taught me
Watch the road, and
Save for rain
Beauty always
Comes with pain,
And don't kiss boys whose eyes don't close,
Whose smile leaves you on your toes,
And I did what mama said.
