Poet waves arms about...

while children ponder When To Tease Your Sister


Tease her on Monday
She'll go mad

Tease her on Tuesday
She'll be sad

Tease her on Wednesday
She'll give you a clout

Tease her on Thursday
She'll pull your teeth out

Tease her on Friday
She won't care

Tease her on Saturday
She'll wave her fists in the air

But tease her on Sunday
Without okaying it first
And your head will inflate
Like a balloon
And then BURST!
