I forgot my pleases

I forgot my pleases

by David E. Gregory

I forgot my pleases;
they couldn't have gone far.
I wonder if my pleases
are somewhere in a jar.

I forgot my pleases,
and everyone's upset.
I'll bet all my pleases
are on a zooming jet.

I forgot my pleases.
I left them out all night.
Now a bunch of pleases
All have frostbite!

I forgot my pleases,
and nothing's getting done.
If I could only find my pleases,
I'd say them one by one.





And if you can't say PLEASE in English, here's some help in other languages:
Swedish - Var snall och (vaw-shnel oh)
German - Bitte (Bit-tuh)
Italian - Per favore (pear fah-voh-reh)
French S'il vous plait (See voo play)
Japanese - Dozo (Dough-zoh)
And OF COURSE ESPAÑOL - Por favor (pour fah-vore)

Don't forget your pleases and PLEASE don't lose them!

This is very appropriate for us. Today in co-op we did a whole lap book on manners! I'll print this out and have the kids glue it to the back.
