My response to this poem:

Michael Rosen’s hilarious work appeals to both boys and girls.  His nonsense poems are full of fun and mischief and get everyone laughing. Beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake, children will be asking you to read these with them time and time again.

 Don't do,
 Don't do,
 Don't do that.
 Don't pull faces,
 Don't tease the cat.

 Don't pick your ears,
 Don't be rude at school.
 Who do they think I am?

 Some kind of fool?

 One day
 they'll say
 Don't put toffee in my coffee
 don't pour gravy on the baby
 don't put beer in his ear
 don't stick your toes up your nose.

 Don't put confetti on the spaghetti
 and don't squash peas on your knees.

 Don't put ants in your pants
 and don't put mustard in the custard
 don't chuck jelly at the telly
 and don't throw fruit at the computer
 don't throw fruit at the computer.

 Don't what?
 Don't throw fruit at the computer.
 Don't what?
 Don't throw fruit at the computer.
 Who do they think I am?
 Some kind of fool?
