"Hi," "Hello,"
Since Hanna Moved Away
by Judith Viorst
The tires on my bike are flat.
Chocolate ice cream tastes like prunes.
Flowers smell like halibut.
Nothing's fun to laugh about.

With a Friend

I can talk with a friend
I can play with a friend
I can eat with a friend
I can ride with a friend
Friends

Tall friends, short friends,
Old friends, young friends,
From Washington
It may seem odd

If your best friend's feeling tearful,

We've laughed until my cheeks are tight.
A Friend
Beatrice Schenk de Regniers
Whoever we are,
The Fight
Like friends are supposed to be.
You, picking up the telephone
Calling me
to come over and play
Or just goof around
or take a walk,
finding a place
to sit and talk,
Like friends do,
Me, picking up the telephone
Calling you.
"Come play with me."
These are friendly words,
you see.
To be a friend
can take awhile,
yet it can start
with just a smile.
I need a friend
to play with me.
I'll be your friend
The sky is grouchy gray.
At least it sure feels like that
Since Hanna moved away.
December's come to stay.
They've taken back the Mays and Junes
Since Hanna moved away.
Velvet feels like hay.
Every handsome dog's a mutt
Since Hanna moved away.
Nothing's fun to play.
They call me, but I won't come out
Since Hanna moved away.
and I was all upset,
I couldn't go outside to play,
the weather was too wet.
But then my best friend called me up
witlots of things to say,
we made each other giggle,
I felt better right away.
When you can't think of things to do
and the rain won't ever end,
it's nice to have a telephone
to share things with your friend.
and walk with friend
and share my umbrella
in the rain.
and stay with a friend
and learn with a friend
and explain.
and compete with a friend
and even sometimes
disagree.
and take pride with a friend.
A friend can mean
so much to me!
Skinny and wide;
Red haired, black haired,
Side by side.
And in-betweens;
Moms and Grandpas,
Tots and teens.
To Delaware,
Friends are found
Most anywhere.
To think and yet;
Friends are strangers
You've never met!
Try not to be too cheerful.
Just let her fill your ear full
Of sad tales by the score.
She'll feel as good as new.
Now you'll be feeling blue.
But that's what friends are for!
all alone
with only me
for company -
me and my cat.
Thare are days like that.
(many more)
I don't wnat to be alone
any more.
Then
it seems to me
jokes are funnier,
honey's honey-er,
sun is sunnier
when
I'm with a friend!
Tell a wish
Listen
to
a dream.
We've laughed until my stomach's sore.
If we could only stop we might
Remember what we're laughing for.
Whatever we be,
We're friends 'cause I'm me
We're friends 'cause she's she.
(Or because he is he -
Whatever, whatever the case may be.)
A friend
is a friend
is a friend!
Helen H. Moore
I have a firend.
We had a fight.
I cried myself
to sleep last night.
And when I see
my friend today,
I'll say, "I'm sorry.
Want to play?"
I hope she'll say
she's sorry, too -
I'm sure she will -
that's what friends do.
