Poem: If You Ever

This is a silly poem that my kids like to recite. It is taken from the book "Poems for the Very Young", selected by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Bob Graham.

If You Ever
If you ever ever ever ever ever
If you ever ever ever meet a whale
You must never never never never never
You must never never never touch its tail:
For if you ever ever ever ever ever
If you ever ever ever touch its tail,
You will never never never never never
You will never never meet another whale.
