You won’t find these rules,
In any book or scroll.
Now let me tell you about,
The unofficial rules galore.
When mom says “Homework”!!
Never give a hoot.
Start cleaning your room
Or start polishing boots.
If you see a stick,
Lying on the floor.
It can be a magic wand,
That opens magic doors.
In the mornings you have to go to school,
As you are still a child.
As mom says’ “You are going to be late!!”
Let your imagination run wild.
This is the silliest,
the most unofficial rule.
The fries are vehicles and swimmers,
The ketchup is the road and pool.
Here are few rules,
as you can see.
Hereby, the book ends,
And it is followed by you and me!!
