SOUND ADVICE
Mary had a little lamb
she also had some sprouts
she shared her meal with brother Sam
when he came home from scouts.
The meat got stuck in Mary’s teeth
she used a small tooth pick
and put the pickings underneath
her skirt and got a kick.
It came from brother Samuel
who thought it wasn’t nice
and so on him it thus befell
to give her sound advice:
‘If food gets stuck its best to leave
the table straight away
where bits of food you can retrieve
avoiding fuss and tooth decay’.
