A Very Polite Little Boy.
Boy bowing
I knew a little boySo exceedingly polite;He wouldn’t leave the room, unlessHe asked you if he might;His hair was always smooth,And he looked so spick and span,You really might have thoughtHe was a wooden little man!One day as he beganTo remark, “Sir, if you please—”Intending to apologizeIf he should chance to sneeze;Quite suddenly he gaveA funny little shriek,And everybody jumped intoThe middle of next week.And the little boy himself,Very nearly died of fright:Because he’d been so veryVery, very impolite!

I knew a little boy
So exceedingly polite;
He wouldn’t leave the room, unless
He asked you if he might;
His hair was always smooth,
And he looked so spick and span,
You really might have thought
He was a wooden little man!
One day as he beganTo remark, “Sir, if you please—”Intending to apologizeIf he should chance to sneeze;Quite suddenly he gaveA funny little shriek,And everybody jumped intoThe middle of next week.
One day as he began
To remark, “Sir, if you please—”
Intending to apologize
If he should chance to sneeze;
Quite suddenly he gave
A funny little shriek,
And everybody jumped into
The middle of next week.
And the little boy himself,Very nearly died of fright:Because he’d been so veryVery, very impolite!
And the little boy himself,
Very nearly died of fright:
Because he’d been so very
Very, very impolite!
