Helping Mummy to Get Better
We’re helping Mummy to get better,
She has a flu and is in bed,
We weren’t really sure if she was sleeping,
So we lifted up her eyelids and her head.
We’re helping Mummy to get better,
She has a head hurt and feels sick,
We gave her the dinner that we made her,
But she went to the toilet really quick.
We’re helping Mummy to get better,
We wrapped a bandage round her foot,
We brought her a flannel just to wipe her,
Then we sang to her and read her all our books.
Mummy says she really feels much better,
She feels so well that we can go to bed,
Of course we know she’s just being brave,
So we’ll stay and make her better instead. |  |

20 Ways to Avoid Monsters and Mythical Beasts
 | 1) Don’t talk to witches; be careful how you approach this.
2) Don’t play in caves, unless you paid to get in.
3) If you do avoid large eggs that smell of pumice.
4) If you find a trolls nest don’t dig up their gold.
5) If your granny has a long thin furry face consider the following; a) She’s a weir wolf. b) She’s the big bad wolf. Either way, see a wood cutter before visiting and under no circumstances comment on the size of her teeth.
6) Don’t climb anything that grew taller than a house in one night.
7) Don’t make bargains that include your first born child.
8) Don’t eat buildings made of gingerbread.
9) Don’t stand and howl at the moon.
10) If you hear noises in the middle of a wood, don’t investigate them.
11) Don’t check under the bed or in cupboards; get some other sucker to do it.
12) Never buy anything that has the first name Magic or Gigantic.
13) If your name is Beauty make it clear you hate roses, unless they’ve come from a shop.
14) Avoid woman with green snaky hair, only look a them in mirrors.
15) If anything with too many legs, arms, eyes or heads speaks to you, ignore it.
16) If anyone apart from your parents tell you they’re gonna’ eat you up, believe them.
17) If your parents have a distant look about them (Look up Zombies and Alien possession) believe them too.
I8) Don’t hug anything hairy, with rotten table manners unless it’s your Dad.
19) Wrap yourself in cotton wool.
20) Always wear deodorant it stops them smelling your fear.
NOTE: NO RESPONSIBILITY WILL BE TAKEN
FOR ANYONE WHO IGNORES THIS NOTICE.
P.S. You have been warned!
