Another List Didactic For Children of All Ages

Rotate your tires and planets frequently Turn your soil into something pretty dirty Make your garden grow in soiled earth Stay out of the sun (the surface there is hot enough) Remember first things first are better the second time around Set your alarm to stun Wake up early when you want to steal the dawn Stop doing that it hurts Emphasize your words when talking in your sleep Repeat them to your spouse when you awake See what happens next Never ever drive without a car (a vehicle will do) Ride a roller coaster if you must Take a bag lunch, you will need it later Walk on tidal forces into tomorrow Take medication if you really want to feel the pain Read every label that comes your way Don't talk to strangers who count your sheep Keep your own company in a mirror Wash it, kiss it, cover it in blankets once a week Turn off the light to see why things glow in the dark Work at being a kinder gentler nation Leave affection to the professionals Pay attention if you are listening Forget the beginning about rotating things Let them spin to reach their own conclusions Just finish when you stop reading this
