The Rules of the House


[A Do-It-Yourself Poem]


These are the rules for Monica’s house –
You must be quiet as [ a mouse, some cows, a helicopter]

Don’t jump on the lovely chairs,
And watch out when you climb the [ bears, chimney, stairs]

Everbody likes a joke,
But mind that you don’t spill your [ beans, coke, smoke]

If Neil says it is okey-dokey,
You can do the [ hokey-pokey, karaoke, washing-up]

If you pick your nose at all,
Do not wipe it on [ the wall, the ball, Neil’s head]

When you want to have some treats,
Neil will fetch a bag of [ sheets, lovely carrots, sweets]

Please be tidy when you’re in
And throw your paper in [ the washing machine, a tin, the bin]

Do whatever you are told,
‘Cos we don’t want you to be [ cold, bold, sunburnt]

Do the dance-mat on the telly,
But do not fall and hurt your [ welly, feelings, belly]

When we are not here tonight,
Do not argue, do not [ go down to the pub, fight, bite]

Do not throw the cushions about
And do not scream and do not [ pout, shout, phone up for a pizza]

You may have a Coke or two,
So make sure you go to the [ loo, zoo, cinema]

If the music’s up too high,
It will make the neighbours [ fly, call the police, cry ]

If you see that Neil is bold,
Make sure Monica is [ old, told, forty four ]

Do not skid around the floor
Or you might crash into [ the railway station, the store, the door]

If you’re rude and if you fart,
You’ll be sent home on [ the Dart, a cart, a spaceship]

All this evening, Neil is boss,
So if you hit him, he’ll [ grow moss, run away, get cross]

And when its time to go to bed,
Neil will bring you to the [ Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, Med, .…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………SHED!! ]
