Edward Ibeh Poet Tanka

Say 'Please'

 Say the magic word
    And your request is granted.
           Yes, it's that simple.
  Rather than bending someone
To your will, say "please" instead.

            It works like a charm
    When you want anything done.
                 Politeness is key.
     "Please" wins people over and
          It makes life much easier.
