Learning

I 'm learning to say thank you,
And I'm learning to say please.
And I'm learning to use tissue
And not my sweater, when I sneeze.
And I'm not learning not to dribblle.
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 on the cob.
And I'm learning that it's much
Much easier to be a slob.
