Politeness
Mar. 28th, 2012 02:28 pmGet ready guys: April is coming and I'm gonna try to post a poem every day in celebration of National Poetry Month. It's a very exciting time around here.
It's gonna come a little sooner than previous years. So to start off NPM, here have a poem:
Politeness by A. A. Milne
If people ask me,
I always tell them:
"Quite well, thank you, I'm very glad to say."
If people ask me,
I always answer,
"Quite well, thank you, how are you to-day?"
I always answer,
I always tell them,
If they ask me
Politely...
BUT SOMETIMES
I wish
That they wouldn't.
- from When We Were Very Young, 1924
(Also, lost my draft review of Fables on here that I was working on. Ah well. I have scribbled down the gist of it in my notebook when I wasn't paying attention in class so I have something to start from again, but man does this suck. Fables is a new comic that has me obsessed and staying up until all hours of the night/day reading it.)
