The Boy with Compliments<\/h3>\n

by Christal Lee, grade 8<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s this boy in two of my classes<\/p>\n

He wears many hoodies<\/p>\n

But he won\u2019t wear hats, suspenders or glasses<\/p>\n

Though he does have the mind of a goody, goody<\/p>\n

He is the boy with compliments<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Around the class he is very helpful<\/p>\n

He is friendly and fun to hang around with<\/p>\n

He acts respectful<\/p>\n

He is this<\/p>\n

The boy with compliments<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His hands feel sandy<\/p>\n

His eyes are dark brown<\/p>\n

Has a voice sweet like candy<\/p>\n

Sometimes he acts like a clown<\/p>\n

But he is the boy with compliments<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He gives corny advice<\/p>\n

Has a smile too bright<\/p>\n

Always says something nicer<\/p>\n

And he won\u2019t fight<\/p>\n

The boy with compliment<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
