Young and gullible

There are a lot of myths we have been told

Like at the end of a rainbow there's a pot of gold.

Things I was told turned out to be lies

Like if you watch to much television you will get square eyes.

If you eat the crust of the bread you will
Get curly hair.

Don't look to long at someone as it is rude to stare.

Look at that owl they are clever and wise

And listen to adults because they never tell lies 

Girls are made from sugar and spice

And never hit a woman as its not very nice

Boy are made from frogs and snails 

And always wash your hands and don't bite your nails 

Never say dirty words and don't scream or shout 

As there was a bar of soap to wash your mouth out.
