Don't Shave a Dog

Don't shave a dog.
Don't kiss a snake.
Don't pick a bear,
For patty cake.

Don't try to jump
With kangaroos.
Don't ride the race
If your horse moos.

Don't stick a finger
In your eye.
Don't let a puppy
Eat your pie.

Don't waste much time
On bad gnus.
We're tired of don'ts,
Give us some do's.
