Don't Stare Chilldren comical poem 758 by Angela Lansbury

 



Don't stare, children, It's rude to stare

Even if they have purple hair

Look at the floor, or sky, or tree

In your mirror, or book, or me


Don't stare, children, it's rude to stare

Though they are nude, have six foot hair

Pretend you neither see nor care

Ignoring them, just talk to me


If they look odd, their words absurd

Just act as though you never heard

Do not let the outside affect

With things you don't need to inspect


Act like you did not hear nor see

Do not react, nor disagree

Just concentrate when you're with me

They're free to be how they must be


Don't look nor hear bad things they say

Just hope and pray they'll go away

Just act as if they are not there

Don't share but have a happy day.
