The Boy with Compliments
by Christal Lee, grade 8
There’s this boy in two of my classes
He wears many hoodies
But he won’t wear hats, suspenders or glasses
Though he does have the mind of a goody, goody
He is the boy with compliments
Around the class he is very helpful
He is friendly and fun to hang around with
He acts respectful
He is this
The boy with compliments
His hands feel sandy
His eyes are dark brown
Has a voice sweet like candy
Sometimes he acts like a clown
But he is the boy with compliments
He gives corny advice
Has a smile too bright
Always says something nicer
And he won’t fight
The boy with compliment
