Don't read under the covers if you are all alone, <br />but most importantly don't answer the phone. <br />Turn all the lights on in the house, <br />and please be as quiet as a little bitty mouse. <br /> <br />Now you're asking what is wrong with me, <br />I, m not afraid but you will soon see. <br />That when you read under the covers all alone, <br />and you happen to have to answer the phone? <br /> <br />Well what if your feet get all tangled up in the sheets, <br />you might fall out of bed and cause some grief. <br />You might step on the dog, or even the cat, <br />then you'll be sorry, I promise that. <br /> <br />So read in a chair and not in the bed, <br />If you must then please use your head, <br />Get slo..wl..y out and put your feet down, <br />the stand up and check all around. <br /> <br />My uncle Angus broke both of his arms, <br />and one of his legs, the cat? no harm. <br />But as he tried to get his balance you see, <br />fell down the stairs, and spilled his tea.<br /><br />richard (sean) scarbrough (james)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-read-under-the-covers/
