I'm learning to say thank you.

    And I'm learning to say please.

    And I'm learning to use Kleenex，

    Not my sweater， when I sneeze.

    And I'm learning not to dribble¹.

    And I'm learning not to slurp².

    And I'm learning （though it sometimes really hurts me）

    Not to burp.

    And I'm learning to chew softer

    When I eat corn on the cob.

    And I'm learning that it's much

    Much easier to be a slob.
