Stubborn As a Mule

When camping keep the watermelon in the creek to keep it cool Always do your homework first after school Wait thirty minutes after eating before swimming in the pool Love thy neighbor as yourself follow the golden rule Count to ten before speaking in anger and being a fool Never lend or borrow and you will avoid strife and duels Drink a glass of water before you eat so you won't drool Be respectful to adults so people know we raised a little jewel As a child I heard them all but was scolded for being stubborn as a mule
