My mum used to read me a book when I was a child with lots of poems, which I absolutely loved! We can't remember what is was called, do you know?

One of the poems started:

My mother says there are no joys in ever kissing silly boys, just one small kiss and one tight squeeze can land you with some foul disease'

I thought it may have been Roald Dahl but I still can't find it!
