Uncle DaveO Mine too! This from my Grandma too There was once a little girl who would never say "Please" I believe if you even went down on your knees. She would sit at the table, taking her ease, And speak to her mother in words such as these; "Pass me the butter! Give me the cheese! Get me some water! I want some peas!" One day a wise fairy, that bad girl to tease, Blew her away in a powerful breeze, Down with the wasps and the ants and the bees - And there she must stay, till she learns to say "Please"
