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
