Stop, Drop and Roll

When your mother-in-law comes to visit
Well, here's a pretty neat trick
Be careful if your stomach is weak
Cause it just might make you sick

When all else fails and you want to escape
Here's how you get rid of that troll
Everytime she enters the room
Just stop, drop and roll

Then smack your head and scream a lot
Like you're trying to put out the flames
She'll think you're crazy and run for the door
And she might even call you names

Be sure there's a bucket of water
That you've hidden somewhere closeby
And if she turns to come back in
Pour it on your head and cry

Your wife might sit and shake her head
But don't you lose control
Try to remember it's life or death
So stop, drop and roll

I'm known to pull some crazy stunts, but this would top them all!! Great fun!! Actually all I have to do to get rid of an unwanted visitor is to recite some of my screwy poetry. Bob M.
