StNicholas [serial] . VI. BEING POLITE No matter what your wish may be, It s easier, you 11 find,To ask for it politely, and Be sure to bear in mind,That questions are more quickly heardWhen they begin with one small word. For if to Mother you should say,Give me a piece of bread, Or, Let me go outside and play,She 11 surely shake her head; Nor is it any use to tease, When you ve forgotten to say please. And now I hope that when I write Such little rhymes as these,They 11 help you to be more polite, So please remember after you have had your way, Then thank you, is the thing to say.
