Stop Fiddling PDF Print E-mail

Don't fiddle with your pencil

Don't fiddle with your your pen

Don't fiddle with your paper

I won't tell you again

Don't fiddle with your hair

Don't fiddle with your chair

Don't tug your tie

Or your underwear

STOP FIDDLING!


Don't fiddle with your face

Or you pencil case

Don't fiddle with your socks

Or your shoelace

Focus, focus

Concentrate

Don't talk to yourself

Don't talk to your mates

STOP FIDDLING!


You're tapping

You're flicking

You're fidgeting

You're clicking

You're pushing

You're picking

You're rustling

You're kicking

And you're twiddling...

STOP FIDDLING!


Don't fiddle with your ruler

Your rubber or watch

Leave your lunch box alone

It's only ten o'clock

Point those ears in my direction

Give me one hundred per cent attention

STOP FIDDLING!


Don't fiddle with your rucksack

Or your sports kit

Put down that football

Don't play with it

Be still

Stone-like

Be statuesque

Sit up straight

Be silent

Stop getting me stressed

Put your hands face down upon your desk

These are simple instructions to digest

So please - give it a rest and...

STOP FIDDLING!
