Mixed-up Morning!
Pack your trousers!
Zip your teeth!
Put some toast on underneath!
Eat your pants
and wipe your hair!
Mind your face
and comb that chair!
Draw your backpack!
Brush your bed!
Pop your school shoes on your head!
Rinse your sunhat!
Lace your shirt in!
Don’t forget to wear your curtains!
Tuck your coat up!
Make your plate!
—what a MUDDLE when we’re late!
Zip your teeth!
Put some toast on underneath!
Eat your pants
and wipe your hair!
Mind your face
and comb that chair!
Draw your backpack!
Brush your bed!
Pop your school shoes on your head!
Rinse your sunhat!
Lace your shirt in!
Don’t forget to wear your curtains!
Tuck your coat up!
Make your plate!
—what a MUDDLE when we’re late!
