Everything that’s Nicest

Warm-Up
Warm-Up
Tick (3) the activities you enjoy and cross (7) the ones that you don’t.
1. Going to a park late night 4. Not to use mobile phones for longer hours
2. Eating junk food 5. Saving money
3. Waking up early 6. Peeping from the terrace
Everything that’s nicest,
Granny says, “It’s wrong.”
If you put your toys back
Where they don’t belong.
Slide along the landing,
Climb a tree or two.
It’s sure to be the very things
That children oughtn’t do.
I wish there was a place,
Where things were upside down,
“Must not” would be “Must”,
In topsy-turvy town.
Then I suppose that I’d be,
Topsy-turvy too.
And only want to do the things
That children ought to do!
