Advice to a Younger Brotherby Cat DubieAdvice to a Younger Brother1 Don’t leave your window open wide lest in your room winged creatures glide. Mosquito, horsefly, vampire bat, they’ll suck your blood out, count on that! And if you leave your door ajar cold crawlers come from near and far. Six snakes will slither on your bed, wet snails and slugs will slime your head. Then, if you should turn out your light wild animals that feed at night, mad panthers, wolves, and lions too, they all will make a meal of you. 2 If you don’t eat your turnip hash you’ll break out in a painful rash. If Brussels sprouts stay in your dish you’ll grow fins just like a fish. If carrot juice should stay undrunk you'll start to smell just like a skunk. For spinach close your eyes and eat unless you want warts on your feet. Some good advice now, little dude: you must eat green and orange food to grow up straight just like a tree, and really smart, why, just like me!
