How To ... by Sophia


(I found this on Soph's stack of writings, too funny not to post!)

How To Be a Friend
by Sophia age 8

When a friend comes over
For play, talk or tea,
Be careful with your manners,
Be the best friend as can be.

When two friends come over,
Don't run, yell, or shout,
This is politeness, friends,
And don't leave one friend out.

When three people visit,
Now this is a challenging quiz!
If they are badly rude,
Show them what a polite friend is.

Now, when four people visit,
My, what challanging fun!
Now don't pick a favorite,
Include everyone!

When five people visit,
And three ask one rude question,
If it's rude, change the subject,
(Even though you might have a suggestion).

Dear Sophia,
I am so happy to be one of your friends. You are quite the little poet!
