My sister keeps making me say please,

And having me ask politely on my knees,

“Would you please eat all of your food?”

“Would you please stop with that attitude?”

“Would you please stop acting like such a selfish brat.”

“Would you please get eaten by that feisty bobcat?”

“Would you please stop bothering me?”

“Would you please just go and hug a tree?”

I think my sister is enjoying my pain,

It’s actually sort of melting my brain.

I suppose the next time a robber comes by,

I could just yell, “PLEASE!” at the bad guy.

While he robs me of all possessions,

I could ask some nice mannered questions:

“Would you please stop robbing my apartment?”

Or I could just call the police department.
