Jeffrey Cooper is a freelance writer and editor on Long Island, New York. His published books include several young adult and middle-grade novels, the science fiction/self-help parody "How to Make Love to an Extraterrestrial," and novelizations of the first three "Nightmare on Elm Street" films. He'd rather be writing light verse than just about anything.

Never sit under a bowling ball tree.
Don’t feed a worm to your brother.
Stay out of parks filled with man-eating sharks.
And always be good to your mother.
Never pack clothes in an elephant’s trunk.
Don’t feed a goldfish salami.
Stay out of houses infested with louses.
And always be sweet to your mommy.
Never jump rope when your jump-rope’s on fire.
Don’t share your gum with a llama.
Stay out of lakes filled with poisonous snakes.
And always be kind to your mamma. |
