I said "Father, driving with the
helmet and in first gear",
"That's good, my son, but have you any more?"
"Sure, there are ten, but I shall keep only four".

The second will be to say without hesitation "I can't",
The third is to always keep the toothpaste cap on

The fifth is easy and you can have a ball

He moulds wonders out of his two hands
Leaving impression forever on the sands.
