Dad asked me to be good and behave,
I am much better than those
in my imagination  that was fed by fairy and folk tales.......
Tarzan ran naked in the jungle,
At least I am dressed.
Cinderella  came home after midnight,
I have curfew hours till eight p.m
Snow white lived with seven strange men,
I am allowed night out once in a while- only girls.
Pinocchio  told lies,
If I do I am grounded with no pocket money.
Goldilocks finished the baby bear's porridge without asking,
Tried once, went to bed without dinner.
Alladin was a thief,
Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos.
Batman drove 200 miles per hour,
All of them were heroes leading
exciting lives,
And If I play pranks I am told to behave!
Too much good behaviour and respect will end up me being afraid to edge on the highway.
