Don't Think About a Zebra


Underline the correct spelling of the word in brackets to complete the rhyme.

Don't think about a (zebra, sebra)


no matter what you do,
for, if you ever think of (won, one),
then soon you'll think of (two, too).

And, after that, (you'll, youll) think of three.


And then you'll think of (for, four).
Then five or six or (seven, sefen) zebras.
Maybe even more.

And then you'll think of zebra (heards, herds)


stampeding down the (street, streat)
and zebras wearing (tootoos, tutus),
disco-dancing to a (beat, beet).

You'll think of flying ninja zebras


practicing kung fu.
And zebra (clowns, clouns) from outer space.
And robot zebras (to, too).

And zebras in pyjama (bottoms, bottums)


bouncing on (there, their) beds,
and maybe even zebras
wearing trousers on their (heds, heads).

You'll wish you'd never (thought, thougt) of them,


so do it starting now:
Don't think about a zebra.
Only think about a (cou, cow).
