You Will Freeze That Way

 

By Elton Camp

 

Most kids like to make a funny face

But parents act like it’s a disgrace

And they may with seriousness say,

“Do that and you’ll freeze that way.”

 

I wonder how that ever got its start

And why any ever took it to heart

No matter when, where or even why

It’s very silly to keep telling that lie
