Reverse Psychology

"Show and tell suggestions the opposite,  that sometimes their way doesn’t work."  Quote by poet

Mimsy Loved to Mimic

Mimsy so pretty 
Loved her little kitty
So very bitty

Mimsy so very witty
Followed and tried to mimic 
Her little kitty

Mimsy played with its toys
That made lots of noise
Kitty moved with enormous poise

Mimsy’s mommy gave kitty
A bowl of milk 
Mimsy wanted a bowl of milk 

Kitty lapping its milk
Mimsy on all fours with milk
On her face tried lapping the milk

Not a drop in her tummy and a blank
Face, Mimsy frustrated and thirst, sank
Shrank her shoulders, picked the bowl up and drank.

Mimsy needs a psychological upheaval. Sound like a great nursery rhyme.
