Wash Your Hands

Tied my shoes
  Wash your hands
Turned on the news
  Wash your hands

Combed my hair
  Wash your hands
Tucked in my chair
  Wash your hands

Put on my hat
  Wash your hands
Played with my cat
  Wash your hands

Took a bike ride
  Wash your hands
Slid down a slide
  Wash your hands

Held onto a rail
  Wash your hands
Opened the mail
  Wash your hands

The way things
  used to be
This was called
     O.C.D.
