The Camel's Last Gasp

The Camel's Last Gasp - DON'T

DON'T


Don't eat the over seasoned sausage,
            Don't be a silly crab,
Don't steal your mother's silken corsage,
            Lest we your jugular jab.

Don't sneak away with mother's mittens,
            Don't be a nincompoop.
Don't rob the cat to help the kittens,
Don't tumble in the soup.

Don't yank the leg of rancid mutton,
            Don't shake the loaded dice,
Don't be a horse's collar button,
            Don't be a cake of ice.

Endeavour to be white, not yellow.
            Don't wear a hat too high,
But rather be a right good fellow
            Helping the other guy.
