Do you always follow the instructions you find on your juice carton? 3 stanzas of 4 lines each.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
by Michele Lourie c 2017
Kindergarten lunch hour is so quiet
As the children sit in the shade,
Their teacher watching to make sure
They eat all that their mothers have made.
Johnny – a clever young fellow
Who already could read quite a lot
Got up from his seat near the teacher
To jump up and down on the spot.
“Johnny, you should not play about now,
Really what can you be thinking?”
“But teacher, my juice carton tells me
To be sure to ‘SHAKE WELL BEFORE DRINKING.”
