诗歌: You Can Never Be Too Careful

英语自学网

　　You can never be too careful,
        　　that's what I always say,
        　　and so I wear a hat, or two,
        　　in case my hair turns gray.
        　　I've thirteen tires on my car,
        　　in case I get a flat.
        　　I wear my pants size fifty-three,
        　　in case I grow too fat.
        　　You can never be too careful,
        　　I'm sure you'll find it's true.
        　　I see the doctor every day,
        　　in case I catch the flu.
        　　I carry twenty handkerchiefs,
        　　in case I have to sneeze,
        　　and forty seven bandages,
        　　in case I skin my knees.
        　　You can never be too careful,
        　　so if I take a walk,
        　　I tiptoe everywhere I go
        　　and whisper when I talk.
        　　I hide my money in a box,
        　　and lock it up inside Fort Knox.
        　　My house is made of bricks and rocks.
        　　The front door has a hundred locks.
        　　But now I have a problem, see,
        　　I'm locked inside without the key.
        　　I've lost it and I can't get free.
        　　I hid it much too carefully!
