| My response to this poem: |
My children loved these cautionary poems, especially the morale
behind ‘Don’t ever bite your sister’ and the many other poems
featured such as Wally Wards the Sword Swallower and Peter Prim the
Fire-Eater. Practitioners can use their copies of ‘My Hippo has
Hiccups’ too: a lesson in wordplay could be built around mixed-up
Anna Graham who "says calm instead of clam," while Izzy O'Rainty,
Prince of the double-negative, will have children clamouring for
grammar! Kenn Nesbitt also has a website called

Don't ever bite your sister.
Don't kick her in the shin.
Don't slap your sister silly
and don't sock her on the chin.
Don't tape a "Kick Me" poster
upon your sister's back.
Don't take your stinky socks off
and then put them in her pack.
Don't purchase plastic spiders
and place them on her head.
Don't leave your rubber rattlesnake
inside your sister's bed.
Don't do this to your sister
for, if you ever do,
I'm pretty sure she may do something
even worse to you.
