There once was kid

Who moved to the block

From down around the bend

He was a lonely new kid

And the new kid needed a friend



One day a boy on a bike rode by

The new kid waved and shouted

"Hi!

Hi! I'm the new kid

Would you be my friend?"



But...the boy on the bike said

"No indeed!

I've got all the friends I need!

However...I know a girl in gold

Who's very friendly, I'm told"



So, off they set on a little hike

The new kid and the boy on the bike

To find a friend for the new kid

'Cause the new kid needed a friend!



When they came to the girl in gold

The new kid tried to be very bold

"Hi! I'm the new kid

Would you be my friend?"



But...the girl in gold said "Eeww,eeww

I hate boys and that means you!...etc.

However...I know a tiny tyke

You would be someone she'd like"



So, the girl in gold and the boy on the bike

And the new kid all set off on a hike

To find a friend for the new kid

'Cause the new kid needed a friend!



They found the tyke sitting in her crib

Dribbling Gerbers down her bib

"Hi! I'm the new kid

Would you be my friend?"



But...they ting tyke said "Waa, waa!

Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa, waa!...etc.

I know a dopey dog

He'd make friends with a log!"



So the tiny tyke and the girl in gold

And the boy on the bike and the new kid

All set off on a hike

To find a friend for the new kid

'Cause the new kid needed a friend!



To find the dog was not too hard

He was burying bones in a neighbor's yard

"Hi! I'm the new kid

Would you be my friend?"



But...the dopey dog said "Ruff, ruff!

Rauaaughf, ruf! ruf! ruf!"...etc

And so the new kid hung his head

And very sadly said,

"If I can't make friends with a friendly pup

I might as well give up!"



Weeks went by and his birthday came

And he still didn't have a friend to his name

When school was over home he trudged

And he started to cry and his face got smudged

And he opened the door..

And he rubbed his eyes...

And he heard a roar..."SURPRISE!"



Happy birthday new kid

From all your very new friends!

From the dopey dog and the tiny tyke

And the girl in gold and the boy on the bike

Now, every one of them was his friend

Things take time...

The end
