"Mind your head"
The signboard says,
telling you to go through
the door with care.
"Mind your step"
Say the bright yellow words,
painted boldly at the edge
of the long flight of stairs.
"Mind your language"
The teacher warned,
telling the talkative student
from foul words to refrain.
"Mind your manners"
A mother reminded
her child at dinner time,
good behaviour to maintain.
"Mind your mind"
The writer quips,
while thinking of a plot
for a story
that's hard to find.
