Learning

I'm learning to say thank you.

And I'm learning to say please.

And I'm learning to use Kleenex,

Not my sweater, when I sneeze.

And I'm learning not to dribble.

And I'm learning not to slurp.

And I'm learning (though it sometimes really hurts me) Not to burp.

And I'm learning to chew softer

When I eat corn on the cob.

And I'm learning that it's much

Much easier to be a slob.
