WANTED: FRIENDS

I’ve got some lovely faces to paint

And some pretty pictures to draw;

But I haven’t any crayons now

Nor any friends who’d give me som,

I’ve some funny stories to tell,

And some jolly songs tossing;

But I haven’t any friends

Nor anyone who’d listen to me.

I’ve got some silly toys,

And I know some noisy games;

But I haven’t any playmates

Poor little me, no playmates at all.

I don’t want any crayons,

Nor any stories, or games, or toys;

I want some friends and playmates

Some boys and girls to play with.
