Bad Habits Poem by Gavin Nelson

Bad Habits



Hello Mr magpie how’s our wife?
Do you ever wonder that if you don’t cross the road before the beeping stops you’ll fall through?
I did. I sometimes still do it and rush to other end in time.
Do you ever wonder that if you touched a train track you’d turn into a train?
I did. I sometimes still do and always jump over the line not to touch it.
What will happen if you step on the black on a zebra crossing?
Always step on the white. I still do. Sometimes. Why?
Do you leave a little dropp of tea when you finish it?
How many times do you flick the light switch?
Can you walk on 3 drains?
Do you salute a magpie?
What do you do? What are your bad habits?
I know your bad habits!
